Glossary
Related terms
- Telegram Main Mini App
- A bot configuration where the launch-button opens a full-screen mini-app by default instead of a chat. Set via @BotFather, exposed as bot_has_main_app=true in the public profile. Main-app bots feel app-native — a tap from search, sponsored ad or share-card lands directly in the mini-app, no chat-thread context. Tracked on /miniapps leaderboard with niche filters, Stars rating and MAU sparkline.
- Telegram Mini App
- A web application that runs inside Telegram via the bot API. Mini apps give advertisers a native-feel experience without leaving the Telegram client — popular for games, token launches, mini-shops and onboarding flows. A sponsored message’s CTA can point directly to a mini app.
- Stars rating level
- A public Telegram metric awarded to bots based on accumulated Telegram Stars revenue. Levels run from 0 (no Stars earned) upward; each level has a stars threshold visible in the bot’s profile. Stars rating signals monetisation maturity — used as a proxy for "this mini-app actually makes money" when ranking the /miniapps leaderboard. Higher levels typically correlate with main-app activation and sustained MAU.
- Cashier creative
- A sponsored message that triggers a payment flow directly inside Telegram instead of redirecting to an external landing page. Three cashier formats are tracked separately: Stars-priced invoices (invoiceCurrency=XTR), paid-media offers in any currency (USD, EUR, etc.) and Premium giveaways. Cashier creatives concentrate in mini-app advertisers, gaming bots and creator-economy products. Filterable on /cashier; CSV export at /api/v1/cashier-creatives.csv.
