Overview

Specifically, the 'Search Public Chat (by Username)' operation allows users to search for a public Telegram chat by providing a username. This is useful for automating Telegram chat lookups, retrieving chat details, or integrating Telegram chat data into workflows. For example, a user can input a Telegram username to fetch the corresponding public chat entity information.
