Use Telegram Client API

Actions12

Overview

The "Get Chat Members" operation of the Telegram Client node retrieves a list of all members in a specified Telegram chat or channel. This is useful for scenarios where you need to analyze, manage, or interact with the participants of a group or channel. For example, you might want to export member information for reporting, send targeted messages, or automate membership management tasks.

Properties

Name Meaning
Chat ID The unique identifier or username of the chat/channel (e.g., @username or -100xxxx).
Options Additional parameters:
- Limit: Maximum number of members to return (default is 100).

Output

The output JSON contains the following structure:

{
  "success": true,
  "members": [
    {
      // Member details as returned by the Telegram API client
    },
    ...
  ]
}
  • success: Indicates whether the operation was successful.
  • members: An array containing the chat members' information retrieved from the Telegram API. Each member object includes details such as user ID, status, and other metadata provided by Telegram.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active Telegram Client API credential with valid session, API ID, and API hash.
  • Uses the Telegram Client SDK internally to connect and fetch data.
  • The node must be configured with these credentials before use.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials provided: The node will throw an error if the required Telegram API credentials are missing. Ensure that the API key/session is properly set up.
  • Operation not supported: If an unsupported operation is selected, the node throws an error indicating this.
  • Connection issues: Network problems or invalid credentials can cause connection failures. Verify network access and credential validity.
  • Limit parameter: Setting an excessively high limit may lead to timeouts or rate limiting by Telegram. Use reasonable limits.
  • Permission errors: The bot or user associated with the credentials must have permission to access the chat members list; otherwise, the request will fail.
