Updated October 27, 2026
What this example returns
This example returns up to 1 result.
The dataset’s “Profiles” view shows 12 columns: query, status, type, username, title, description, member_count, online_count, monthly_users, verified, photo_url, and source_url. See every output field.
What each setting does
The input this example runs Telegram Profile Scraper with. “Try this input” opens it in the console, where you can run it as-is or change any field first.
- Telegram usernames or URLs
telegram_url telegram
One per line: a username (telegram), an @handle (@BotFather), or a t.me link (https://t.me/telegram, https://t.me/s/telegram, t.me/+inviteCode). Duplicates and different spellings of the same name are collapsed into one row. Inline lists work up to about 600 names; use the file link below for longer lists.
- Maximum profiles
maxResults 5
Stop after this many profile rows. 0 means no limit.
Default: 1000 → this example uses 5
- Skip names that do not exist
skipNotFound No
Do not save rows for usernames that Telegram does not resolve. They are not charged either.
- Verified only
verifiedOnly No
Keep only accounts that show Telegram's verified badge.

}What it costs
About $0.0021 for 1 result
An estimate: 1 × $0.0021 per profile (One Telegram profile row saved to the dataset, including names that do not exist). A run is charged for the events it reports, so one that finds fewer result costs less. Platform usage is included in the event price.
When to use this example
From the Telegram Profile Scraper readme:
Why is a field empty?
Telegram only shows some fields for some types. Only channels and groups have a member count, only some bots show monthly users, and users with no photo have no photo_url. Missing values are null.
