Doublegram Lookup is Doublegram's Telegram bot for identity research on Telegram. It turns a username, link, numeric ID, or forwarded message into a lookup result card with the key facts Telegram exposes: numeric ID, entity type, display name, username, bio or description, member count, and whether the account is a bot.
Lookup works in private chat only with @doublegram_lookup_bot. No slash commands are required for searches — just send text or forward a message.
What can you look up?
- Users and bots — via @username, public t.me/username link, or positive numeric user ID
- Groups, supergroups, and channels — via public username, t.me link, negative numeric ID, or private invite link (t.me/+…)
- Forwarded messages — forward any message from a user, group, or channel to instantly identify the source
Lookup combines Telegram's Bot API with a deeper resolution layer so it can fetch more detail than a simple @ mention — including bios, descriptions, and member counts when Telegram makes them available.
Who can use Lookup?
- You need a linked Doublegram account (Telegram connected to your Doublegram profile)
- Free linked users get 5 lookups per UTC day
- Doublegram subscribers get unlimited lookups
Quick picture: Link your account → send a username or forward a message → read the result card. Subscribers never hit the daily cap.
How to start
- Open @doublegram_lookup_bot in Telegram.
- Press Start or send
/start. - If prompted, link your Doublegram account (see Link Your Doublegram Account for Telegram Lookup).
- Send a lookup input — for example
@telegram, a t.me link, or forward a message.
The /start menu includes My Data (your Telegram ID and plan status), How it works, and Upgrade if you are on the free plan.
What Lookup does not do
- It does not work in groups — only in a private chat with the bot
- It cannot bypass Telegram privacy — hidden users and locked-down accounts return limited or no data
- It is not a mass-scraping tool — free users have a daily quota; use Lookup for targeted checks
Who is Lookup for?
- Community managers verifying who joined or who sent a message
- Moderators checking whether an account is a bot or a real user
- Anyone who needs a Telegram numeric ID for integrations, bots, or support tickets
- Researchers comparing public channel stats (members, description, username)
Try it: Open @doublegram_lookup_bot, press Start, then send @telegram — you should get ID, type, name, and username in one card.
