What is a Telegram scraper and how to find good one for you?

Telegram scraper, also called a parser or a grabber, is a software that helps you to speed up the process of collecting Telegram data such as usernames, members, subscribers, followers, together with group and channel messages. Most of them are used for marketing needs and can be applied to your campaigns, as long as Telegram itself doesn't share this information. This proccess called Telegram scraping.

To start scraping any data you will need to have Telegram groups list. As long as build-in Telegram search, returns only few results, It is usually hard to find good groups for scraping. Nevertheless, you can search Telegram groups in the directory or use Telegram search engine to find groups based on your interest, country, or language.

Why is a Telegram group scraper used for scraping chat members in public and private groups?

Telegram groups scraper is a common marketing tool that is used to get a list of memebers aka usernames. Generally, this data is scraped from competitors' groups because members share the same interests and can potentially be interested in your products and services. Two types of groups can be used to scrape Telegram group members and typically they parsed from public groups and, in some cases, exported from private groups. It have no any difference with Telegram member scraper and using the same technology and motive for scraping Telegram group members with Python and Telethon.

We did a research on what kinds of Telegram scrapers are available on the web and what their pros and cons are.

The main reason we started this research is because there is a huge demand for high-quality Telegram marketing services, and while working in Telegram for seven years, I still hastle to find honest and dedicated service providers. Most of these services are scams and are provided by schoolboys who don't deliver any value and the only reason they chase is to get quick money. The circumstances of this are a waste of your marketing budget and banned groups and channels.

The main problem with most scrapers is that people don't have a list of groups to feed the scraper and to find those, they either have to search for them in the web, which can be time-consuming and hard to find, or they can use Telegram's search engine, which gives you the ability to find groups based on your search query and chosen language.

—-

The best part is that you can scrape members from the list instantly by selecting which ones you need to be parsed. There is no proxy or Telegram phone number needed for this as long as the search engine does its own parsing. The results can be saved in a form of Excel file, like CSV, or kept in your file manager on the website, so you can have quick and easy access for further actions.

What are Telegram parsers used for? And a few main use cases.

The main reason of Telegram scraping software is used to collect members from your niche competitor groups and invite them to your community for further interaction. You can use it to send them your offers, either directly or through a secret message. Both of these strategies can be called spamming methods and won't work in the long run. They can only be used for either scam products or for initial strategy to get some attention or to test your product and see a feedback on your marketing hypothesis.

There are only two reasons it can be used: when the member is targeted so well that they are highly interested in your product or service, and this can be discovered when the targeting is done with a high level of precision. The only way to do this in Telegram, we found, is with Teleteg.com, which provides a tool that can find crosslinked interests of the members. Basically, it collects all of the members' interests and builds an interest profile so if you're looking for someone who is interested in NFTs. You can find those users who are active members of more than three groups, with the same interests, so the targeting can be based on combined interests like: NFT, London, Gaming, and so on.

A lot of fake statements. Either this guys is a big liars or they simply doesn't understand a basic concept of Telegram technology or trying to rank in Google for any keyword possible.

False statements:

Comment: Some Telegram scraper providers claim that their software is AI-based, which I personally would not believe, as long as there is no reason to use this kind of sophisticated technology for tasks that can be done with a simple python script that is published on GitHub.

——

Consider GitHub as a place to find free Telegram scrapers.

There are many different Telegram scrapers available on GitHub. To use them, you will need to know Python and how to host and run scripts. The Python libraries update quite often, so you would need to check if your version is up to date and the script does comply with the latest version. GitHub is a good resource for finding free versions of these scripts, but you either need to have these skills or plan to hire a developer to set these scripts up and maintain them.

——

Comment: False statment, because there is no way to scrape more than 200 channel members. There is some advansed Telegram scraper tool on the market that can collect memebrs from channel comments, but this is not the one which does.

——

Comment: Yes, this can be done, but only one time. When you add 9K members a day to any of the groups, it will get shadowbanned the same day. After this you will not be able to invite new members any longer. and in some cases the group can be banned permanently. The only safe way to invite new members to your group is little by littlr to make it look organic. So, this statement I will consider false and dangerous.

What problems you will face with downloaded versions of scrapers?

The main issue with available Telegram scrapers on the market is that most of them need to be downloaded to your PC, which can cause malware infection and damage your computer. Another downside is that it needs to be connected to your mobile number and authorized with a Telegram code, which can lead to the loss or ban of your Telegram account. So using a web-based version would be a better idea.

To use most of the available parsing software, you'll need to have some technical skills to set it up and feed it with the necessary data to start working correctly. You won't be able to use it on your mobile, Linux, or Mac OS, compared to a web-based scraper like Teleteg.

All the mentioned providers agree that it won't be of any use if you have a list of inactive users on Telegram. There is a higher chance of engagement and return on Investment if you will chase the active members for your group.
