How we verify
Four steps. Same pipeline for every bot in the index.
- Live check. We resolve the t.me/<username> against Telegram and confirm the account is a public bot.
- Deduplicate. Identity is the immutable numeric ID, not the display name — duplicate clones never enter the index.
- Snapshot. We capture the description, member count, and recent activity from the live profile.
- Re-verify. Every entry is re-checked on a 24-hour loop. Dead or banned bots drop out of the directory automatically.
What is a Telegram bot?
A short primer on Telegram's automation primitive.
A Telegram bot is a special account operated by software through the
Bot API.
Anyone registers one through @BotFather, picks a public username, and ships
commands or inline queries. Users start the bot, send a slash command, and the bot responds
in chat. Telegram bots live under /b/<username>
short links in this directory and are distinct from
broadcast channels and
public groups.

The same verification pipeline powers every entity type.
Telegram bots are one of three indexed entity types. For broadcast-style content, browse the telegram channels directory. For multi-member chat rooms, see the telegram groups directory. To search all three at once, use the telegram search engine homepage.
