Once again, we’re publishing an article about Viber phone number scraping. And once again we get the same questions: “How do you scrape a Viber group?” and “How much does Viber contact scraping cost?”. We’ll answer step by step, based on experience from previous orders. First of all, we do not hack anything. That’s why services like “extract contacts from Viber” are, in practice, just collecting data that is already publicly visible. If contacts are visible in the group, you can collect them yourself or via us. If we do the Viber parsing and Scraping, the price for “viber phone number + name” is 0.00875 USD per contact, with a minimum order of 15 USD. Even if there are only 5 entries, the minimum payment of 15 USD still applies. The Viber number parser is not sold and has no API.

Who needs Viber phone number scraping
Viber phone number scraping means collecting phone numbers that are already visible inside a chat. Whether you collect them manually or with software is not critical. The data is publicly visible in that context, and the user has allowed it to be displayed in Viber. Typically, the output includes a viber phone number and a name. Marketers use this for Direct Marketing and personalized outreach.
What you normally won’t find in a Viber profile is a nickname and an email address. Nicknames are more typical for Telegram. When scraping Viber groups, it’s important to follow platform rules. If someone asks you to remove their viber telephone number from your list, you must do it. Respecting privacy helps avoid negative sentiment toward your brand. Some data may be visible, and some may be hidden by the messenger. Anything visible can be collected. Anything hidden cannot be collected.
Always think about the purpose of collection. Where and how you plan to use the data matters. After scraping Viber groups, choose a compliant and ethical use case.
The most common goals of Viber contact scraping are:
- building a list for community invitation messaging (often called “grey” outreach);
- launching personalized messaging and SMS (official Viber messaging);
- cold calling narrow segments;
- building audiences for targeting in Facebook and Instagram.
In addition, Viber contact scraping saves time. Manual collection takes many hours, and outreach from personal accounts can trigger blocks. At scale, manual work becomes unrealistic. That’s why businesses choose automation and our viber local number collection workflow.
Scraping a Viber group
What can you realistically scrape in Viber? Most often, people want to scrape a Viber group because members are visible. Some assume every group member will become a customer. In reality, that’s not guaranteed. Here’s why:
- First, not all members are real people. Because of Viber subscriber boosting services, groups may contain bots.
- Second, group admins can hide the member list via Viber support.
- Third, you may misjudge your target audience and collect non-relevant contacts.
That’s why, before starting scraping of a number viber list, it’s smart to consult a marketer.
Viber scraping report format
A Viber contact Scraping report is typically a table that includes:
- source (group/link),
- viber phone number,
- profile name.
A table format makes sorting and segmentation easy. If the Viber parser collects multiple groups where members overlap, duplicates can be removed. This saves budget on campaigns and prevents sending the same message twice to the same person. Final database quality depends on preparation and on how “clean” (bot-free) your source is.
Limitations of Viber group scraping
Viber group scraping always comes with limitations. It’s important to understand them before placing an order.
First and most importantly: we do not scrape channels. In channels, contacts are hidden by default. This is true for both Viber and Telegram.
Second, we usually limit extraction to specific regions. Most often this includes: Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. Sometimes borderline cases are possible, such as the UK, Poland, or Moldova. However, results depend on availability and technical constraints.
Third, there is an export volume limit. If a group has more than 10,000 members, the report includes the first 10,000 viber number entries. What can you do? Place a repeat order a week later and ask to exclude the initial 10,000 from the search. This expands coverage.
Is Viber scraping possible if members are hidden?
Hidden members are a common issue. If the chat info shows only admins, then subscribers are hidden. Admins do this to protect their audience and investments. In such groups, extracting a viber telephone number list is not possible. This is a technical interface limitation. What options exist? There is a small chance that someone previously ordered the same group and an archive exists. Ask about this when ordering.
In short, the main limitations are:
- First, we don’t work with channels.
- Second, we consider geographic constraints.
- Third, we account for large-group export limits.
- Also, we check member visibility in advance.
These points save our time and your money.
Viber scraping pricing
Pricing depends on how many subscribers are collected. There is also a minimum order that applies in any case. It is 15 USD. This is relevant when you need only admins or a small volume. It’s important to note that small groups (up to 1,500 members) are not combined. In other words, one group will always cost at least 15 USD. The minimum fee covers setup and processing.
If your group has 1,800+ members, it’s usually better to calculate by unit rate. The current price per contact (“viber phone number + name”) is 0.00875 USD. This is the base cost for Viber contact Scraping. It’s easy to multiply by volume. For example, 1,000 contacts cost $8.75, and 5,000 contacts cost $43.75. The calculation is transparent and fast.
There are also extended formats where the Viber parser may include additional fields:
- date of birth,
- gender,
- last activity.
In that case, the service is usually combined with Viber checking. This is typically ordered after collecting subscribers, when phone numbers are already available.
How to use data after Viber scraping
Viber Scraping only makes sense if you know what to do with the database next. First, the database is cleaned and normalized. Then segments or clusters are created, for example by group topic and interests. Next, you prepare your message and offer. Important: in “grey” invitation campaigns, the text may be pulled from the group description. After that, you choose a communication channel.
- First, it can be invitation messaging to a Viber group.
- Second, official Viber messages or SMS.
- Third, calling via Viber, especially in B2B or services.
Any channel requires caution. Aggressive messages lead to complaints, and complaints lead to blocks.
Useful ways to apply Viber contacts:
- inviting people to subscribe to a community;
- name-personalized messages;
- SMS campaigns via an external service;
- calling “hot” segments via a call center;
- audience targeting where it is allowed.
It’s also important to consider anti-spam systems. If you message everyone indiscriminately, your audience will burn out quickly. You need a plan, sending frequency, and content that doesn’t annoy people. This increases trust and reduces complaints.
What do you need to start a feasibility check?
You need a link to the group or community. No screenshots are required, and you don’t need to add us to groups. For the technical brief we accept links only. After we confirm that Viber number parsing is possible, you proceed with payment. Non-standard report formats are charged separately (15 USD).
Is it risky to scrape using a personal account?
Yes. There is a real risk of losing your account. You can violate platform rules and get blocked. That’s why it’s better to use a safer approach and order viber phone number scraping through us.
