Overview
========
**Pyrogram** is a Client Library written from the ground up in Python, designed
for Python application developers. It offers simple and complete access to the
`Telegram Messenger API`_. Pyrogram:
- Provides idiomatic, developer-friendly Python code (either generated or
hand-written) making the Telegram API simple to use.
- Handles all the low-level details of communication with the Telegram servers
by implementing the `MTProto Mobile Protocol v2.0`_.
- Makes use of the latest Telegram API version (`Layer 72`_).
- Can be easily installed and upgraded using ``pip``.
- Requires a minimal set of dependencies.
Requirements
============
- Operating systems:
- Linux
- macOS
- Windows
- Python 3.3 or higher.
- A Telegram API key.
API Keys
--------
To obtain an API key:
#. Visit https://my.telegram.org/apps and log in with your Telegram Account.
#. Fill out the form to register a new Telegram application.
#. Done. The Telegram API key consists of two parts: the **App api_id** and
the **App api_hash**.
**Important:** This key should be kept secret.
Installation
============
You can install and upgrade the library using standard Python tools:
.. code:: shell
$ pip install --upgrade pyrogram
Getting Started
===============
This section provides all the information you need to start using Pyrogram.
There are a couple of steps you have to follow before you can use the library:
Setup
-----
Create a new ``config.ini`` file at the root of your working directory, paste
the following and replace the **api_id** and **api_hash** values
with `your own`_:
.. code:: ini
[pyrogram]
api_id = 12345
api_hash = 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef
Authorization
-------------
Telegram requires that users be authorized in order to use the API.
Pyrogram automatically manages this access, all you need to do is create an
instance of the ``pyrogram.Client`` class and call the ``start`` method:
.. code:: python
from pyrogram import Client
client = Client(session_name="example")
client.start()
This starts an interactive shell asking you to input your **phone number**
(including your `Country Code`_) and the **phone code** you will receive:
.. code::
Enter phone number: +39**********
Is "+39**********" correct? (y/n): y
Enter phone code: 32768
After successfully authorizing yourself, a new file called ``example.session``
will be created allowing Pyrogram executing API calls with your identity.
**Important**: The ``*.session`` file must be kept secret.
Usage
=====
Having `your session`_ created you can now start playing with the API.
Simple API Access
-----------------
The easiest way to interact with the API is via the ``pyrogram.Client`` class
which exposes `bot-like`_ methods. The purpose of this Client class is to make
it **even simpler** to work with Telegram's API by abstracting the raw functions
listed in the API scheme.
The result is a much cleaner interface that allows you to:
- Get information about the authorized user:
.. code:: python
print(client.get_me())
- Send a message to yourself (Saved Messages):
.. code:: python
client.send_message(chat_id="me", text="Hi there! I'm using Pyrogram")
**Note:** Currently, only a limited number of such high-level methods are
available.
Using Raw Functions
-------------------
If you want **complete**, low-level access to the Telegram API you have to use
the raw ``functions`` and ``types`` exposed by the ``pyrogram.api`` package and
call any Telegram API method you wish using the ``send`` method provided by the
Client class:
- Update first name, last name and bio:
.. code:: python
from pyrogram.api import functions
client.send(
functions.account.UpdateProfile(
first_name="Dan", last_name="Tès",
about="Bio written from Pyrogram"
)
)
- Share your Last Seen time only with your contacts:
.. code:: python
from pyrogram.api import functions, types
client.send(
functions.account.SetPrivacy(
key=types.InputPrivacyKeyStatusTimestamp(),
rules=[types.InputPrivacyValueAllowContacts()]
)
)
