About 📱Telegram Profile

Need to pull clean, structured data from Telegram for your projects? This actor is what I use to scrape public profile info from both users and channels. It’s straightforward: you give it a username or a list of them, and it fetches the public details you’d see in the app—things like the bio, profile picture, subscriber counts for channels, and any contact info they’ve made public. I’ve found it super reliable for building targeted lead lists without any guesswork. The data comes back in a nice, organized JSON format, ready to plug into your CRM, a spreadsheet, or your own custom app. It’s perfect for marketers looking to find potential leads in specific niches, researchers analyzing social media trends, or developers needing to populate a database with verified contact points. Since it only accesses public information, you can run it with confidence. If you’ve ever tried to manually copy-paste this stuff, you know it’s a time sink. This automates that tedious part, letting you focus on actually using the data.
