## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

- **Outcome:** structured member audit at **$0.00055 per member** — 10,000 members ≈ $5.50.

#### For marketers building Telegram outreach lists

#### For AI agents answering questions about Telegram community membership

- **Problem:** LLM agents asked "how many premium users are in this Telegram group?" cannot answer from stale training data.
- **How Telegram Group Member solves it:** call the Actor over the [Apify MCP Server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp?fpr=aiagentapi) to retrieve live member data.

**Verdict.** Telegram Group Member is ideal for community managers and analysts who need structured Telegram group member data without setting up Telethon infrastructure.

***

### ⚠️ Common mistakes to avoid

1. **Missing `telegram_url`.** This field is required. Use a public group URL like `https://t.me/group_name` or `@group_name`.
2. **Setting `max_results` below 100.** Minimum value is 100.
3. **Targeting private groups.** The Actor only works with publicly accessible Telegram groups.
4. **Forgetting `deep_search` field.** This boolean field is required and must be `true` or `false`.

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "deep_search": false,
    "max_results": 100,
    "telegram_url": "https://t.me/binanceexchange"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("truefetch/telegram-group-member").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
