About
-----
Welcome to Pyrogram's Documentation! Here you can find resources for learning how to use the library.
Contents are organized by topic and can be accessed from the sidebar, or by following them one by one using the Next
button at the end of each page. But first, here's a brief overview of what is this all about:
**Pyrogram** is a brand new Telegram_ Client Library written from the ground up in Python and C. It can be used for building
custom Telegram applications in Python that interact with the MTProto API as both User and Bot.
.. code-block:: python
from pyrogram import Client
client = Client("example")
client.start()
client.send_message("me", "Hi there! I'm using Pyrogram")
client.stop()
Features
--------
- **Easy to setup**: Pyrogram can be easily installed using pip and requires very few lines of code to get started with.
- **Easy to use**: Pyrogram provides idiomatic, clean and readable Python code making the Telegram API simple to use.
- **High-level**: Pyrogram automatically handles all the low-level details of communication with Telegram servers.
- **Updated**: Pyrogram makes use of the latest Telegram MTProto API version, currently Layer 76.
- **Fast**: Pyrogram critical parts are boosted up by `TgCrypto`_, a high-performance Crypto Library written in pure C.
- **Documented**: Pyrogram API methods are documented and resemble the well established Telegram Bot API,
thus offering a familiar look to Bot developers.
- **Full API support**: Beside the simple Bot API-like methods, Pyrogram also provides an easy access to every single
Telegram MTProto API method allowing you to programmatically execute any action an official client is able to do, and more.
