After filtering American TG numbers, how to understand tgid and export the result fields? Complete How-To Guide

If you are trying to acquire overseas customers, especially Telegram community operations or private message promotion for the US market, there is one link you cannot avoid: US TG number screening. The original number list was a mixed bag, and many numbers may not have been registered on Telegram, have been inactive for a long time, or were not the target group. Only after filtering through the platform can you get a truly reachable US Telegraph number. In the filtering results, there is a field that is often overlooked but extremely important - tgid. This article will break down what tgid is, how to export it, and how to use it to improve customer acquisition efficiency from a practical perspective.

What is a “US TG number”? Screen the real needs of US Telegram numbers

“US TG number” refers to a mobile phone number that begins with the US area code (+1) and is registered with Telegram. In overseas marketing, the U.S. market is a battleground for many independent websites, cross-border e-commerce, and social e-commerce. Telegram has a large number of active users in the United States, especially among crypto communities, entrepreneurial groups, and technology enthusiasts.

The U.S. number you have may come from various sources: number segments collected by yourself, third-party data, and user registration lists. But among them:

• Some numbers are not connected to Telegram at all;
• The activated users may have abandoned their accounts or been inactive for a long time;
• Even if it is active, it may not meet your targeting needs (such as gender, age group).

Therefore, batch screening of valid, active, and even gender-tagged US Telegram numbers is a critical first step in reducing marketing costs and increasing reach rates. Number screening platforms like KK-DATA can help you quickly locate target groups among millions of numbers.

After filtering US TG numbers, what are the exported result fields? ——Detailed explanation of tgid, activity, gender, etc.

After KK-DATA completes a US TG number screening task, the system will generate a result file (CSV/TXT), which usually contains the following core fields. Understanding the meaning of each field directly affects your subsequent data utilization efficiency.

Field name	Meaning	Business value
phone (number)	Original mobile phone number (including international area code)	Basic identification
tg activation	Whether to register Telegram (yes/no)	Exclude invalid numbers
tg activity	Whether online within the specified time window (such as 7 days/30 days)	Determine the reach probability
tgid	Telegram’s internal unique user ID (number)	Long-term labeling of users, deduplication, API calls
Gender	Inferred gender (male/female/unknown)	Coarse-grained crowd targeting
Age	Inferred age range (e.g. 25-34)	Population segmentation
Avatar	Whether there is an avatar (yes/no)	Assist in judging authenticity
Others	Some areas support race, nickname, etc.	Advanced filtering

In-depth interpretation of tgid field

**What is tgid? ** tgid is a unique digital ID assigned to each user by Telegram based on the MTProto protocol, similar to an ID number. It is different from a mobile phone number: a user can change the mobile phone number, but the tgid usually remains the same. This is why tgid is more stable than mobile phone numbers in user management.

**What is the use of exporting tgid? **

• Cross-task deduplication: The same user may appear in different batches, and using tgid to deduplicate is more accurate than using mobile phone numbers (because users change numbers but tgid remains unchanged).
• Associated with CRM system: Use tgid as the user’s unique identifier to connect subsequent interactive behaviors.
• Telegram Bot API secondary contact: Through tgid, you can call the Bot API to send messages (the user must have talked to the bot).

What is the difference between tg active and tg activated?

Many marketers tend to confuse these two detection types. A clear distinction is given below:

Detection type	Detection content	Applicable scenarios	Fees (see console real-time price for details)
tg activation	Determine whether the mobile phone number is registered with Telegram (the most basic test)	Just confirm whether the number is available, not caring whether the user is active	Low
tg active	Based on activation, determine whether the user has online behavior within the specified time window (such as 7 days/30 days)	Requires recent active users to increase the message opening rate	Higher (because additional activity information needs to be obtained)

Practical Suggestion: If your marketing content is a time-sensitive event notification (such as a limited-time discount), you should give priority to the “tg active” detection; if you just accumulate a user pool, enabling the detection is enough.

Gender and age fields of US TG numbers

KK-DATA’s gender identification is based on public information or algorithm inference and is not 100% accurate. The age field can be interpreted to reveal the approximate age group (such as people around 30 years old), but it cannot be used for precise credit reporting or ID card-level verification. This type of field is most suitable for coarse-grained crowd screening, such as:

• Only export “male and active” US TG numbers to promote male consumer products.
• Combine with the age field to exclude or include users of a specific age group.

How to export tgid from filter results? KK-DATA platform operation steps

The following takes the KK-DATA console as an example to demonstrate the complete process from uploading numbers to exporting tgid.

1. Log in to the console (https://app.kkdata.cc/），点击“创建新任务”。
2. Upload number list: Supports CSV and TXT formats, one line for each number. You can use the platform’s “Global Number Generation” module to generate a US number segment for free and then import it.
3. Select detection type: Check “tg enabled” or “tg active” (according to your budget and goals).
4. In the “Export Field” settings, be sure to check “tgid”. It may be selected by default, it is recommended to confirm. Other fields such as gender and age can be checked as needed.
5. Submit task: The platform will display the estimated cost (submit only when the balance is sufficient). After the task is completed, download the result file via Telegram notification or directly in the console “Task List”.
6. Export results: The downloaded CSV file contains all the fields you checked. The tgid in the column can be viewed in the header.

After exporting tgid, how to use tgid to accurately acquire customers?

Once you get the tgid list, your customer acquisition capabilities will be significantly improved. The following two typical scenarios are worth delving into.

tgid is used for user deduplication and blacklist management

Suppose you performed three US TG number screening tasks and obtained 1000, 800, and 500 records respectively. The data of these three times overlap (the same user appears multiple times). If you remove duplicates by mobile phone number, users who change their numbers will be misjudged as new users; if you remove duplicates by tgid, duplication can be completely eliminated and repeated detection will avoid wasting balances. In addition, you can store the tgid of users who have been reached into the blacklist/whitelist, and subsequent tasks can be directly filtered to accurately control the reach range.

tgid combined with Telegram Bot API

If you have your own Telegram Bot, you can implement automated message push based on tgid. The steps are as follows:

1. Make sure your Bot has created a conversation with the target user (for example, through a deep link to let the user click first).
2. The user’s tgid will be retained in the Bot’s update record (message.chat.id).
3. You can compare the exported tgid list with users known to the Bot, and only send messages to users you have had conversations with to avoid complaints.

Restrictions: tgid itself cannot be used to send messages to strangers who have never talked to the bot. It must be actively authorized by the user (such as clicking on the bot link). Therefore, tgid is more used for remarketing to “established contact” users rather than cold start.

How to choose activity, gender and tgid when filtering US Telegram numbers?

Different marketing goals require different field combination strategies. The following table gives recommended configurations for three typical scenarios:

Marketing Objectives	Recommended Field Combinations	Reasons
Pursuit of magnitude, cost-sensitive	Only select tg for activation, not tgid (use mobile phone number to remove duplicates)	The activation test fee is the lowest, suitable for batch access with limited budget
Balancing costs and effects	tg activation + tg active (7 days) + tgid	It can filter invalid accounts and have a high access rate. tgid facilitates subsequent management
High-precision targeting	tg active (30 days) + gender + age + tgid	Although the unit price is high (see the console real-time price for details), the conversion rate is usually the highest

Important reminder: The unit price of the platform fluctuates with the type and magnitude of the test. The specific cost is based on the estimate before the console is submitted. Do not believe in any “fixed price” promises.

FAQ

**Q: What is tgid? What does it have to do with mobile phone numbers? ** Answer: tgid is a unique digital ID assigned to each user within the Telegram system, similar to a user’s ID number. Even if you change your mobile phone number, the tgid usually remains unchanged. The tgid exported by KK-DATA can be used to tag the same user for a long time.

**Q: How to export the tgid of the US TG number? ** Answer: After uploading the number list in the KK-DATA console, select the “tg activated” or “tg active” detection type, and check the “Export tgid” field in the export settings. After the task is completed, download the CSV to get the tgid and other fields.

**Q: Can tgid be used to send messages directly on Telegram? ** Answer: Yes, but you need to go through the Telegram Bot API. You need to first let the target user initiate a conversation with your Bot (such as through a deep link) before the Bot can obtain its tgid and proactively send messages. It is not possible to send messages directly to strangers through tgid.

**Q: When screening US TG numbers, what is the difference between activity detection and activation detection? ** Answer: The activation test only determines whether the number is registered with Telegram; the activity test further determines whether the user is active online within a specified time window (such as within 7 days). Active detection usually consumes more balance than active detection.

**Q: After exporting tgid, can it be used for cross-platform deduplication? ** Answer: Yes. tgid remains stable in different tasks. You can store the tgid of multiple screen number tasks in the deduplication warehouse to avoid repeated detection of the same user and save costs.

Summary and Action Guide

Screening US TG numbers is the basic work for acquiring customers overseas, and exporting tgid allows you to upgrade from a “one-time number list” to a “user asset that can be managed in the long term.” By understanding the meaning of fields such as tg activation, tg active, gender and age, and combining tgid for deduplication and API calls, you can significantly improve marketing ROI.
