¿How to find target TG groups?

[rxnaldo]

I would like to know how i can find groups (not channels) on a specific topic and with a minimum number of members.
I have tried to make a script with chatGPT and other AIs but i can only find channels even though i make it clear that i am looking for groups,
and the few groups i find are not active or moderately large..

Lets suppose i want to find groups about NBA/betting and with a minimum of 300 members... ¿how could i do it?

What exactly you want?
Use a script to find groups in telegram?

If you have knowledge of code, you just have to optimize the code to allow you to enter keywords, this is the easiest way to do it.

If you don't know the code, you can use online services such as

I will give a try to that website, i know other TG directories but most of them are filled with botted or inactive groups...
Thanks mate!

Yes that’s bad with this kind of directories, but i think you can use some kind of filters .

A tip : Look for online members in groups and not by quantity.

Have you tried using Google? You can search for group links directly, like "NBA betting Telegram group" and filter by member count manually.

Yeah i tried, but only dead groups appear and full of spam so they are useless

Finding active TG groups (not just channels) is tricky because Telegram doesn’t have a built-in search for group size/activity. Here are a few ways to do it:


Manual Search – Use TG’s built-in search with keywords like "NBA betting chat", then filter through results manually.
Third-Party Directories – Sites like telegram-group or t.me/s/ can help.
Reddit & Forums – Many niche groups are shared in betting forums, subreddits, or Discord servers.
Bot Scraping (Advanced) – Some bots or scripts can scan public groups, but they often hit API limits.


For automation, scraping public invite links from forums and blogs is your best bet. Otherwise, networking in niche communities is the easiest way to find high-quality, non-spammy groups.

I think reddit and directories will be my best option!
Thank you very much for your response mate!
