How to parse a Telegram chat or channel audience

A Telegram audience means chat members, active users and channel commenters. Here's how to collect it legally from public data, filter out bots and export to Excel — without connecting your account.

What you can collect

Public Telegram data gives you: the chat member list, the active audience (who posted in a chosen period), channel commenters via the linked discussion chat, and public profile fields. Telegram never exposes another member's phone — that's a platform limit, not the service.

Step 1. Pick a target and mode

Enter a chat or channel link and a mode: active audience (the most engaged leads), the full member list, or channel commenters. For broadcast channels with hidden subscribers we collect commenters — a working workaround.

Step 2. Filter out bots and lurkers

Audience quality scoring shows the share of bots and deleted accounts and separates active users from lurkers, so you get a reachable audience rather than dead weight.

Step 3. Export and save the base

Results export to Excel (XLSX) and TXT; save the base to the CRM to intersect, subtract or merge it with other collections. Parsing runs through the service's account pool — no need to connect your own.
