Get the profile photos of a Telegram user by username: photo id, upload date and a download URL valid for 7 days, together with basic profile data such as name, bio and premium status.
The API returns profile photos of a Telegram user, including photo IDs, upload dates, and download URLs valid for 7 days. It also provides basic profile data such as the user's name, bio, language code, premium status, and account flags.
Key fields include `telegram_id`, `username`, `first_name`, `last_name`, `about`, `status`, `was_online`, `lang_code`, `is_premium`, `photos`, and more. Each photo entry contains `id`, `dcId`, `date`, and `url`.
The response is structured as a JSON object containing user details and a list of photos. Each photo entry includes metadata like upload date and download URL, making it easy to access and utilize the information.
The API provides information on user profile photos, including their upload dates and download links, as well as user details like name, bio, language, premium status, and whether the account is a bot or blocked.
Users can customize requests by providing a single Telegram username, either as plain text (e.g., `durov`), with a leading `@`, or as a profile link. This allows for targeted retrieval of specific user data.
Typical use cases include verifying user identities, screening for fake accounts, conducting OSINT research, enriching CRM records, and detecting bots or premium accounts based on profile photo history.
Data accuracy is maintained by sourcing information directly from Telegram's public profiles. The API only returns photos and details that are publicly visible, ensuring the information is current and reliable.
If the API returns empty results, it may indicate that the user has no public profile photos or that the username is incorrect. Users should verify the username format and check for privacy settings that may restrict data visibility.
