## 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".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## Telegram Profile — Telegram Profile Scraper: Users, Channels & Groups

**Provide a list of Telegram URLs and extract full structured profiles for users, bots, channels, and groups — covering verification, member count, business info, last seen, bot commands, and more in clean JSON / CSV / Excel.**

> **TL;DR (40-word answer):** Telegram Profile is a credentials-based Apify Actor that returns detailed profile metadata for Telegram users, bots, channels, and groups from a list of up to 1,000 targets, covering verification, member count, business info, and bot commands per lookup. Last verified 2026-05-02.

> **What it is NOT:** Telegram Profile is _not_ a message scraper, _not_ a member list extractor, and _not_ a private profile snooper — it fetches publicly visible metadata about Telegram entities via the Telegram API.

> **Telegram Profile is an Apify Actor that extracts full profile metadata for Telegram users, bots, channels, and groups from a list of targets.** Maintained by TrueFetch on the Apify Store.

### 💡 Use cases

#### For researchers profiling Telegram channels and groups

- **Problem:** a research team needs profile metadata (member count, verification, description) for 200 Telegram channels.
- **How Telegram Profile solves it:** provide all 200 URLs in a single run and receive structured channel profiles.
- **Outcome:** 200 channel profiles in one API call — no manual lookups.

#### For developers enriching databases with Telegram entity data

- **Problem:** a database contains Telegram usernames and needs structured metadata appended to each record.
- **How Telegram Profile solves it:** pass all usernames in `telegram_url` and integrate the returned structured profiles into the database.
- **Outcome:** enriched database with verification, member count, and description for every Telegram entity.

#### For AI agents answering questions about Telegram entities

- **Problem:** LLM agents asked "is this Telegram channel verified?" cannot answer from stale training data.
- **How Telegram Profile solves it:** call the Actor over the [Apify MCP Server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp?fpr=aiagentapi) to retrieve live profile data on demand.
- **Outcome:** grounded Telegram profile data in production AI assistants.

### ⚖️ Compared with alternatives

| Capability                                   | **Telegram Profile** | Telegram Bot API | Custom Telethon script |
| -------------------------------------------- | :------------------: | :--------------: | :--------------------: |
| Full user + channel + group profile metadata |          ✅          |     limited      |  you build & maintain  |
| Batch 1,000 targets per run                  |          ✅          |        ❌        |     you implement      |
| Export to CSV / JSON                         |          ✅          |        ❌        |     you implement      |
| Setup time to first result                   |   **< 60 seconds**   |    hours–days    |       days–weeks       |

**Verdict.** Telegram Profile is ideal for analysts and developers who need structured profile metadata for multiple Telegram entities without setting up Telethon infrastructure.

***

### ⚠️ Common mistakes to avoid

1. **Missing `telegram_url`.** This field is required and must be a list.
2. **Providing more than 1,000 targets.** Maximum is 1,000 per run; split large lists across multiple runs.
3. **Targeting private accounts.** Only publicly accessible profiles are returned.
4. **Providing an empty list.** The list must contain at least one target.

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// 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 = {
    "telegram_url": [
        "AiAgentApi",
        "@BotFather",
        "t.me/telegram",
        "binanceexchange",
        "https://t.me/Apify_Actor"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("truefetch/telegram-profile").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) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
