How It Works

The Get Contacts node retrieves the list of contacts from the Telegram client. When executed, the node:

1. Validates the provided Client Id input
2. Uses the Telegram client to fetch the contacts list
3. Processes each contact to extract relevant information:
   • ID
   • Access hash
   • First name
   • Last name
   • Username
   • Phone number
4. Returns the list of contacts as output

Requirements

• A valid Telegram client session with appropriate permissions
• Client Id must match an existing Telegram client session

Error Handling

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

• Empty or invalid Client Id

Usage Notes

• The output contains detailed information about each contact
• The contact information can be used in other Telegram nodes that require user identification
• The Client Id must correspond to an active Telegram client session
