-.. role:: strike

-
-This FAQ page provides answers to common questions about Pyrogram and, to some extent, Telegram in general.
-

-
-    If you think something interesting could be added here, feel free to propose it by opening a `Feature Request`_.

-
-What is Pyrogram?
------------------
-
-**Pyrogram** is an elegant, easy-to-use Telegram_ client library and framework written from the ground up in Python and
-C. It enables you to easily create custom applications for both user and bot identities (bot API alternative) via the
-:doc:`MTProto API <topics/mtproto-vs-botapi>` with the Python programming language.
-
-.. _Telegram: https://telegram.org
-
-Where does the name come from?
-------------------------------
-
-The name "Pyrogram" is composed by **pyro**, which comes from the Greek word *πῦρ (pyr)*, meaning fire, and **gram**,
-from *Telegram*. The word *pyro* itself is built from *Python*, **py** for short, and the suffix **ro** to come up with
-the word *fire*, which also inspired the project logo.
-
-How old is Pyrogram?
---------------------
-
-Pyrogram was first released on December 12, 2017. The actual work on the framework began roughly three months prior to the
-initial public release on `GitHub`_.
-
-.. _GitHub: https://github.com/pyrogram/pyrogram
-
-Why Pyrogram?
--------------
-
-- **Easy**: You can install Pyrogram with pip and start building your applications right away.
-- **Elegant**: Low-level details are abstracted and re-presented in a much nicer and easier way.

-
-Why is Pyrogram defined as both Client Library and Framework?
--------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Simply because it falls in both categories, depending on how you use it.
-
-Pyrogram as a client library makes it easy and intuitive accessing the Telegram API by offering idiomatic Python code
-that is generated or hand-written. Low-level details and client-server communication protocols are handled under the
-hood. Pyrogram acts as a client library when *you call* its methods and use its types in a batch application that
-executes a set of instructions.
-
-Pyrogram as a framework makes it easy to handle live events by allowing you to register event handlers that will be
-executed as soon as they arrive from the server side. Pyrogram acts as a framework when it's Pyrogram itself that
-*calls your code*, that is, your registered event handlers. Such applications are usually started and left online
-indefinitely, until you decide to stop them.
-
-What can MTProto do more than the Bot API?
-------------------------------------------
-
-For a detailed answer, please refer to the :doc:`MTProto vs. Bot API <topics/mtproto-vs-botapi>` page.
-
-Why do I need an API key for bots?
-----------------------------------
-
-Requests against the official bot API endpoint are made via JSON/HTTP, but are handled by an intermediate server
-application that implements the MTProto protocol -- just like Pyrogram -- and uses its own API key, which is always
-required, but hidden to the public.
-
-.. figure:: https://i.imgur.com/WvwBoZo.png
-    :align: center
-
-Using MTProto is the only way to communicate with the actual Telegram servers, and the main API requires developers to
-identify applications by means of a unique key; the bot token identifies a bot as a user and replaces the user's phone
-number only.
-
-Can I use Webhooks?
--------------------
-
-Lots of people ask this question because they are used to the bot API, but things are different in Pyrogram!
-
-There is no webhook in Pyrogram, simply because there is no HTTP involved, by default. However, a similar technique is
-being used to make receiving updates efficient.
-
-Pyrogram uses persistent connections via TCP sockets to interact with the server and instead of actively asking for
-updates every time (polling), Pyrogram will simply sit down and wait for the server to send updates by itself
-the very moment they are available (server push).
-
-Can I use the same file_id across different accounts?
------------------------------------------------------
-
-No, Telegram doesn't allow this.
-
-File ids are personal and bound to a specific account; an attempt in using a foreign file id will result in errors such
-as ``[400 MEDIA_EMPTY]``.
-
-The only exception are stickers' file ids; you can use them across different accounts without any problem, like this
-one: ``CAADBAADyg4AAvLQYAEYD4F7vcZ43AI``.
-
-Can I use Bot API's file_id values in Pyrogram?
------------------------------------------------
-
-Yes! All file ids you take or might have taken from the Bot API are 100% compatible and re-usable in Pyrogram.
-The opposite is also valid, you can take any file id generated by Pyrogram and re-use in the Bot API.
-
-Can I use multiple clients at once on the same account?
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-Yes, you can. Both user and bot accounts are able to run multiple sessions in parallel (up to 10 per account). However,
-you must pay attention and not use the *same* exact session in more than one client at the same time. In other words:
-
-- Avoid copying your session file: even if you rename the file, the copied sessions will still point to a specific one
-  stored in the server.
-
-- Make sure that only one instance of your script runs, using your session file.
-
-If you -- even accidentally -- fail to do so, all the previous session copies will immediately stop receiving updates
-and eventually the server will start throwing the error ``[406 AUTH_KEY_DUPLICATED]``, inviting you to login again.
-
-Why is that so? Because the server has recognized two identical sessions are running in two different locations, and
-concludes it could possibly be due to a cloned/stolen device. Having the session terminated in such occasions will
-protect the user's privacy.
-
-So, the only correct way to run multiple clients on the same account is authorizing your account (either user or bot)
-from the beginning every time, and use one separate session for each parallel client you are going to use.
-
-I started a client and nothing happens!
----------------------------------------
-
-If you are connecting from Russia, China or Iran :doc:`you need a proxy <topics/proxy>`, because Telegram could be
-partially or totally blocked in those countries. More information about this block can be found at
-`Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_Telegram_in_Russia>`_.
-
-Another possible cause might be network issues, either yours or Telegram's. To confirm this, add the following code on
-the top of your script and run it again. You should see some error mentioning a socket timeout or an unreachable network
-in a bunch of seconds:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    import logging
-    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
-
-Another way to confirm you aren't able to connect to Telegram is by pinging the IP addresses below and see whether ping
-fails or not.
-
-What are the IP addresses of Telegram Data Centers?
----------------------------------------------------
-
-The Telegram cloud is currently composed by a decentralized, multi-DC infrastructure (currently 5 DCs, each of which can
-work independently) spread in different locations worldwide. However, some of the less busy DCs have been lately
-dismissed and their IP addresses are now kept as aliases to the nearest one.

-***** Alias DC
-
-Thanks to `@FrayxRulez <https://t.me/tgbetachat/104921>`_ for telling about alias DCs.
-
-I want to migrate my account from DCX to DCY.
----------------------------------------------
-
-This question is often asked by people who find their account(s) always being connected to DC1 - USA (for example), but
-are connecting from a place far away (e.g DC4 - Europe), thus resulting in slower interactions when using the API
-because of the great physical distance between the user and its associated DC.
-
-When registering an account for the first time, is up to Telegram to decide which DC the new user is going to be created
-in, based on the phone number origin.
-
-Even though Telegram `documentations <https://core.telegram.org/api/datacenter#user-migration>`_ state the server might
-decide to automatically migrate a user in case of prolonged usages from a distant, unusual location and albeit this
-mechanism is also `confirmed <https://twitter.com/telegram/status/427131446655197184>`_ to exist by Telegram itself,
-it's currently not possible to have your account migrated, in any way, simply because the feature was once planned but
-not yet implemented.
-
-Thanks to `@gabriel <https://t.me/AnotherGroup/217699>`_ for confirming the feature was not implemented yet.
-
-Why is my client reacting slowly in supergroups?
-------------------------------------------------
-
-This issue affects only some supergroups or only some members within the same supergroup. Mostly, it affects supergroups
-whose creator's account (and thus the supergroup itself) lives inside a **different DC**, far away from yours, but could
-also depend on where a member is connecting from.
-
-Because of how Telegram works internally, every single message you receive from and send to other members must pass
-through the creator's DC, and in the worst case where you, the creator and another member all belong to three different
-DCs, the other member messages have to go through from its DC to the creator's DC and finally to your DC. This process
-will inevitably take its time.
-
-    To confirm this theory and see it by yourself, you can test in a supergroup where you are sure all parties live
-    inside the same DC. In this case the responses will be faster.
-
-Another reason that makes responses come slowly is that messages are **dispatched by priority**. Depending on the kind
-of member, some users receive messages faster than others and for big and busy supergroups the delay might become
-noticeable, especially if you are among the lower end of the priority list:
-
-1. Creator.
-2. Administrators.
-3. Bots.
-4. Mentioned users.
-5. Recent online users.
-6. Everyone else.
-
-Thanks to `@Manuel15 <https://t.me/PyrogramChat/76990>`_ for the priority list.
-
-I keep getting PEER_ID_INVALID error!
--------------------------------------
-
-The error in question is ``[400 PEER_ID_INVALID]``, and could mean several things:
-
-- The chat id you tried to use is simply wrong, double check it.
-- The chat id refers to a group or channel you are not a member of.
-- The chat id argument you passed is in form of a string; you have to convert it into an integer with ``int(chat_id)``.
-- The chat id refers to a user or chat your current session hasn't met yet.
-
-About the last point: in order for you to meet a user and thus communicate with them, you should ask yourself how to
-contact people using official apps. The answer is the same for Pyrogram too and involves normal usages such as searching
-for usernames, meeting them in a common group, having their phone contacts saved, getting a message mentioning them
-(either a forward or a mention in the message text) or obtaining the dialogs list.
-
-Code hangs when I stop, restart, add/remove_handler
----------------------------------------------------
-
-You tried to ``.stop()``, ``.restart()``, ``.add_handler()`` or ``.remove_handler()`` *inside* a running handler, but
-that can't be done because the way Pyrogram deals with handlers would make it hang.
-
-When calling one of the methods above inside an event handler, Pyrogram needs to wait for all running handlers to finish
-in order to safely continue. In other words, since your handler is blocking the execution by waiting for the called
-method to finish and since Pyrogram needs to wait for your handler to finish, you are left with a deadlock.
-
-The solution to this problem is to pass ``block=False`` to such methods so that they return immediately and the actual
-code called asynchronously.
-
-UnicodeEncodeError: '<encoding>' codec can't encode …
------------------------------------------------------
-
-Where ``<encoding>`` might be *ascii*, *cp932*, *charmap* or anything else other than **utf-8**. This error usually
-shows up when you try to print something and has very little to do with Pyrogram itself as it is strictly related to
-your own terminal. To fix it, either find a way to change the encoding settings of your terminal to UTF-8 or switch to a
-better terminal altogether.
-
-Uploading with URLs gives error WEBPAGE_CURL_FAILED
----------------------------------------------------
-
-When uploading media files using an URL, the server automatically tries to download the media and uploads it to the
-Telegram cloud. This error usually happens in case the provided URL is not publicly accessible by Telegram itself or the
-media exceeds 20 MB in size. In such cases, your only option is to download the media yourself and upload from your
-local machine.
-
-sqlite3.OperationalError: database is locked
---------------------------------------------
-
-This error occurs when more than one process is using the same session file, that is, when you run two or more clients
-at the same time using the same session name.
-
-It could also occur when a background script is still running and you forgot about it. In this case, you either restart
-your system or find and kill the process that is locking the database. On Unix based systems, you can do the following:
-
-#. ``cd`` into your session file directory.
-#. ``fuser my_account.session`` to find the process id.
-#. ``kill 1234`` to gracefully stop the process.
-#. If the last command doesn't help, use ``kill -9 1234`` instead.
-
-If you want to run multiple clients on the same account, you must authorize your account (either user or bot)
-from the beginning every time, and use different session names for each parallel client you are going to use.
-
-sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-Stackoverflow to the rescue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4636970
-
-sqlite3.InterfaceError: Error binding parameter 0
--------------------------------------------------
-
-This error occurs when you pass a chat id value of the wrong type when trying to call a method. Most likely, you
-accidentally passed the whole user or chat object instead of the id or username.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    # Wrong. You passed the whole Chat instance
-    app.send_message(chat, "text")
-
-    # Correct
-    app.send_message(chat.id, "text")
-
-My verification code expires immediately!
------------------------------------------
-
-That is because you likely shared it across any of your Telegram chats. Yes, that's right: the server keeps scanning the
-messages you send and if an active verification code is found it will immediately expire, automatically.
-
-The reason behind this is to protect unaware users from giving their account access to any potential scammer, but if you
-legitimately want to share your account(s) verification codes, consider scrambling them, e.g. ``12345`` → ``1-2-3-4-5``.
-
-How can avoid Flood Waits?
---------------------------
-
-Long story short: make less requests, and remember that the API is designed to be used by official apps, by real people;
-anything above normal usage could be limited.
-
-This question is being asked quite a lot of times, but the bottom line is that nobody knows the exact limits and it's
-unlikely that such information will be ever disclosed, because otherwise people could easily circumvent them and defeat
-their whole purpose.
-
-Do also note that Telegram wants to be a safe and reliable place and that limits exist to protect itself from abuses.
-Having said that, here's some insights about limits:
-
-- They are tuned by Telegram based on real people usage and can change anytime.
-- Some limits are be applied to single sessions, some others apply to the whole account.
-- Limits vary based on methods and the arguments passed to methods. For example: log-ins are expensive and thus have
-  stricter limits; replying to a user command could cause a flood wait in case the user starts flooding, but
-  such limit will only be applied to that particular chat (i.e.: other users are not affected).
-- You can catch Flood Wait exceptions in your code and wait the required seconds before continuing, this way:
-
-  .. code-block:: python
-
-      import time
-      from pyrogram.errors import FloodWait
-
-      try:
-          ...  # Your code
-      except FloodWait as e:
-          time.sleep(e.x)  # Wait "x" seconds before continuing
-
-
-  More info about error handling can be found `here <start/errors>`_.
-
-My account has been deactivated/limited!
-----------------------------------------
-
-First of all, you should understand that Telegram wants to be a safe place for people to stay in, and to pursue this
-goal there are automatic protection systems running to prevent flood and spam, as well as a moderation team of humans
-who review reports.
-
-.. centered:: Pyrogram is a tool at your commands; it only does what you tell it to do, the rest is up to you.
-
-Having said that, here's a list of what Telegram definitely doesn't like:
-
-- Flood, abusing the API.
-- Spam, sending unsolicited messages or adding people to unwanted groups and channels.
-- Virtual/VoIP and cheap real numbers, because they are relatively easy to get and likely used for spam/flood.
-
-And thanks to `@koteeq <https://t.me/koteeq>`_, here's a good explanation of how, probably, the system works:
-
-.. raw:: html
-
-    <script
-        async src="https://telegram.org/js/telegram-widget.js?5"
-        data-telegram-post="PyrogramChat/69424"
-        data-width="100%">
-    </script>
-    <br><br>
-
-However, you might be right, and your account was deactivated/limited without any good reason. This could happen because
-of mistakes by either the automatic systems or a moderator. In such cases you can kindly email Telegram at
-recover@telegram.org, contact `@smstelegram`_ on Twitter or use `this form`_.
-

+Pyrogram is a framework that interfaces with Telegram; it is at your commands, meaning it only does what you tell it to
+do, the rest is up to you and Telegram (see `Telegram's ToS`_).
+
+If you found your account being limited/deactivated, it could be due spam/flood/abuse of the API or the usage of certain
+virtual/VoIP numbers.

@@ -0,0 +1,18 @@
+Why is the client reacting slowly in supergroups/channels?
+==========================================================
+
+Because of how Telegram works internally, every message you receive and send must pass through the creator's DC, and in
+the worst case where you, the creator and another member all belong to three different DCs, the other member messages
+have to go through from their DC to the creator's DC and finally to your DC. This is applied to each message and member
+of a supergroup/channel and the process will inevitably take its time.
+
+Another reason that makes responses come slowly is that messages are dispatched by priority. Depending on the kind
+of member, some users receive messages faster than others and for big and busy supergroups the delay might become
+noticeable, especially if you are among the lower end of the priority list:
+
+1. Creator.
+2. Administrators.
+3. Bots.
+4. Mentioned users.
+5. Recent online users.

+Why is the event handler called twice or more?
+==============================================
+
+The event handler is being called twice or more because one or more message edit events have arrived.
+By default, Pyrogram listens to both new and edit message events inside ``on_message`` handlers. To prevent edit events
+from calling the handler, use the "not edited" filter ``~filters.edited``.

 In order to make a client reconnect successfully between restarts, that is, without having to start a new
