Learn how to integrate the TG Validator synchronous API for high-volume Telegram presence validation, manage rate limits, and handle transparent billing in B2B workflows.

TG Validator provides a synchronous REST API designed for high-volume Telegram presence validation. By submitting E.164 formatted phone numbers via a POST request, B2B developers and infrastructure engineers receive an immediate account-presence signal within the same HTTP response cycle. The service supports operational stability through defined rate limits of 200 requests per minute and a concurrency cap of 3 concurrent checks per user. To maintain billing transparency, the platform operates on a per-check model that automatically refunds failed or undetermined requests, ensuring teams only consume balance for completed validation cycles.

Understanding the Synchronous API Architecture

TG Validator is built on a synchronous request-response architecture, meaning that one request returns one result within the same HTTP response cycle. This design supports immediate decision-making in B2B infrastructure, as developers do not need to implement complex polling mechanisms or webhook listeners to retrieve validation results. Integration requires sending a POST request to the /api/v1/check endpoint. The request must include the X-API-Key header for authentication and a Content-Type: application/json header. The JSON body of the request is highly focused, requiring only two fields: service_type set to tg, and the identifier containing the target phone number. Because TG Validator is positioned as a single, focused Telegram-verification product rather than a multi-platform checker, the API workflow remains streamlined around this specific account-presence signal.

Formatting Inputs and Interpreting the Response Envelope

To ensure accurate processing, all phone numbers submitted as the identifier must strictly adhere to the E.164 format. This international numbering standard requires a leading plus sign followed by the country code and the subscriber number, eliminating ambiguity in cross-border validation requests. Upon a successful request, the API returns a documented response envelope containing code, msg, and data objects. The data object provides the core validation details, carrying the id, identifier, registered, transaction_id, status, service_type, and charged_amount_micros fields. For Telegram registration checks, the service_type=tg parameter ensures the API returns the registered field only. There are no avatar or business fields returned by this product. The data.registered field is the primary output, serving as the definitive account-presence signal for the submitted E.164 number at the exact time of the check.

Managing Operational Limits and Stability

Scaling high-volume validation requires strict adherence to the platform's operational boundaries. The TG Validator API enforces a rate limit of 200 requests per minute and a concurrency limit of 3 concurrent checks per user. Infrastructure engineers must implement client-side throttling and connection pooling to ensure their systems do not exceed these thresholds during peak processing windows. If a system does exceed these boundaries, the API will reject the request. However, rate and concurrency limit rejections are not charged and create no check result, protecting the user's balance from accidental spikes in traffic. To support robust error handling, the public API documentation lists specific error codes that developers should anticipate. These include errors for an unsupported service type, an invalid JSON body, an invalid phone number, a missing or invalid API key, insufficient balance, rate limit exceeded, all concurrency slots occupied, and validation service maintenance. By mapping these error codes to internal retry logic or alerting systems, teams can maintain a stable integration.

Billing Transparency and Dashboard Operations

Financial predictability is a core component of managing B2B API infrastructure. TG Validator utilizes a straightforward per-check billing model. To ensure teams only pay for actionable data, any failed or undetermined checks are refunded automatically to the account balance. New accounts can also contact support to claim a $0.10 trial balance specifically for testing Telegram registration checks before deploying to production. Operational oversight is managed through the developer dashboard. The dashboard provides comprehensive tools for API key management and balance monitoring. Operations teams can access detailed check history, generate usage reports, review recent checks, track balance spend, and analyze 7-day trends. This visibility helps infrastructure managers audit their API consumption, forecast future balance requirements, and verify the automatic refunds applied to any failed requests.

Applying the Account-Presence Signal in B2B Workflows

The registered field returned by the TG Validator API serves strictly as an account-presence signal at the time of the check. This signal helps teams review contact lists and supports audience segmentation workflows. It is important to scope the interpretation of this data correctly within B2B infrastructure. A registered result indicates that the submitted E.164 phone number is associated with a Telegram account presence. By treating the validation result as one input alongside other checks, operations teams can safely inform their internal routing and review processes without overextending the meaning of the presence signal.

FAQ

What is the maximum throughput for the TG Validator API?

The API enforces a strict rate limit of 200 requests per minute and a concurrency limit of 3 concurrent checks per user. Infrastructure teams must design their client-side request handling to respect these boundaries.

How are failed requests handled in the billing model?

TG Validator operates on a per-check billing model. Any checks that fail or return an undetermined result are automatically refunded to the account balance. Rejections due to rate or concurrency limits are not charged.

What format is required for phone number identifiers?

All phone numbers submitted to the API must be formatted according to the E.164 standard, which includes a leading plus sign followed by the country code and the subscriber number.

What does the registered field indicate?

The registered field provides an account-presence signal at the time of the check.
