I need guidance on accessing user details or notifications for new joins in a Telegram channel where my bot is an admin. The Telegram Bot API docs are confusing.
In my experience, the Telegram Bot API does not provide a direct method to retrieve a channel’s user list, even if the bot is an admin. I found that Telegram restricts this access deliberately, focusing on privacy and controlled interactions. In personal projects where user management is essential, I had to look into workarounds like using client APIs such as Telethon, though these are separate from the Bot API and come with their own restrictions and considerations. Overall, developers need to plan alternative strategies for managing channel member data.
