Companies can integrate Telegram into internal tools:
CRM systems that track Telegram conversations.
Automated help desks and support dashboards.
Unified communication platforms for distributed teams.
4. Social Media Monitoring
Researchers and media companies use the API to:
Monitor news and discussions in public groups.
Track how information spreads across Telegram.
Analyze engagement on different types of media (text vs. video).
5. Custom Bots With Full Control
Although the Bot API is enough for most bots, developers who need deeper telegram data functionality (like managing sessions or accessing full message history) use the Data API for advanced bot platforms.
Security and Privacy
Telegram’s Data API is designed with security and encryption at its core.
End-to-End Encryption: Secret chats are fully encrypted client-to-client.
MTProto Security: All communication with Telegram servers is encrypted.
Cloud Sync Privacy: Only the user and their devices can access cloud chats.
Session Management: Developers can manage and revoke sessions at any time.
Users can choose to:
Auto-delete messages after a period.
Restrict who sees their data and status.
Use Telegram without exposing their phone number (via username).
Rate Limits and API Terms
Telegram does not impose strict usage quotas for Data API access via TDLib. However:
Abuse (e.g., spamming) will lead to bans or limitations.
Public scraping or unauthorized data collection is prohibited.
Developers must comply with Telegram’s Terms of Service and API policies.
