BotsArchive
Look up Telegram bots by username in a curated catalog
BotsArchive maintains a hand-curated database of Telegram bots and exposes their details through a small PHP API. Query /getBotID.php with a bot's username and it returns the bot's ID, category, tags, star rating and description as JSON. No key is required for the public lookups.
