How to get phone number from telegram id

by

To get a phone number from a Telegram ID, you need to have a valid reason and the proper authorization to access such private information. It’s important to respect privacy and not use someone’s ID to obtain their phone number without their consent.

Telegram does not provide direct access to users’ phone numbers through their IDs due to security and privacy concerns. However, there are a few scenarios where you may be able to retrieve someone’s phone number:

  1. If the user has shared their phone number with you via their Telegram profile or within a chat, you can easily access it by going to their profile.
  2. If the user has a public username associated with their Telegram account, you may find their phone number on external platforms or websites where they have shared their contact information.
  3. If you are an authorized app or service and have the necessary permissions, you can use the Telegram API (Application Programming Interface) to request a user’s phone number.

It’s important to note that the Telegram API has strict guidelines and requires explicit user consent when accessing private data such as phone numbers. It should only be used responsibly and in compliance with Telegram’s terms of service and privacy policy.

Here’s an example of how you can request a user’s phone number using the Telegram API in Python:

    
import requests

def get_phone_number(api_token, user_id):
    url = f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{api_token}/getUserProfilePhotos"
    params = {
        'user_id': user_id,
        'limit': 1
    }
    response = requests.get(url, params=params)
    data = response.json()
    
    if data['ok'] and data['result']['total_count'] > 0:
        file_id = data['result']['photos'][0][0]['file_id']
        return get_file_details(api_token, file_id)
    
    return None

def get_file_details(api_token, file_id):
    url = f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{api_token}/getFile"
    params = {
        'file_id': file_id
    }
    response = requests.get(url, params=params)
    data = response.json()
    
    if data['ok']:
        file_path = data['result']['file_path']
        return download_file(api_token, file_path)
    
    return None

def download_file(api_token, file_path):
    url = f"https://api.telegram.org/file/bot{api_token}/{file_path}"
    response = requests.get(url)
    return response.content

# Usage
api_token = "YOUR_API_TOKEN"
user_id = "USER_TELEGRAM_ID"

phone_number = get_phone_number(api_token, user_id)
if phone_number:
    print("Phone number:", phone_number)
else:
    print("Phone number not found.")

Remember to replace “YOUR_API_TOKEN” with your actual Telegram bot API token and “USER_TELEGRAM_ID” with the ID of the user you want to retrieve the phone number from. This example demonstrates one possible approach, but keep in mind that it depends on the user’s privacy settings and their consent to share their phone number.
