No, in this implementation I just scrap web-version of the Telegram and don't use their API. For more complex parsing of telegram posts (like extraction of attachments, user reactions and replies) you will need to use their API and for sure it will require to have an account

All telegram numbers have to be associated with a phone unless you buy an account via their blockchain.
