Calling Methods
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
At this point, we have successfully :doc:`installed Pyrogram <../intro/install>` and :doc:`authorized <auth>` our
|
|
account; we are now aiming towards the core of the library. It's time to start playing with the API!

Basic Usage
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Making API method calls with Pyrogram is very simple. Here's a basic example we are going to examine step by step:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from pyrogram import Client
|
|
|
|
app = Client("my_account")
|
|
|
|
with app:
|
|
app.send_message("me", "Hi!")
|
|
|
|
Basic step-by-step
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
#. Let's begin by importing the Client class:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from pyrogram import Client
|
|
|
|
#. Now instantiate a new Client object, "my_account" is a session name of your choice:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
app = Client("my_account")
|
|
|
|
#. The ``with`` context manager is a shortcut for starting, executing and stopping the Client:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
with app:
|
|
|
|
#. Now, you can call any method you like:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
app.send_message("me", "Hi!")
|
|
|
|
Context Manager
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The ``with`` statement starts a context manager used as a shortcut to automatically call :meth:`~pyrogram.Client.start`
|
|
and :meth:`~pyrogram.Client.stop`, which are methods required for Pyrogram to work properly. The context manager does
|
|
also gracefully stop the client, even in case of unhandled exceptions in your code.
|
|
|
|
This is how Pyrogram looks without the context manager:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from pyrogram import Client
|
|
|
|
app = Client("my_account")
|
|
|
|
app.start()
|
|
app.send_message("me", "Hi!")
|
|
app.stop()
|
|
|
|
Asynchronous Calls
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
In case you want Pyrogram to run asynchronously (e.g.: if you are using third party libraries that require you to call
|
|
them with ``await``), use the asynchronous context manager:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from pyrogram import Client
|
|
|
|
app = Client("my_account")
|
|
|
|
async def main():
|
|
async with app:
|
|
await app.send_message("me", "Hi!")
|
|
|
|
app.run(main())
|
|
|
|
Asynchronous step-by-step
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
#. Import the Client class and create an instance:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from pyrogram import Client
|
|
|
|
app = Client("my_account")
|
|
|
|
#. Async methods can't normally be executed at the top level, because they must be inside an async-defined function;
|
|
here we define one and put our code inside; the context manager is also being used differently in asyncio and
|
|
method calls require the await keyword:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
async def main():
|
|
async with app:
|
|
await app.send_message("me", "Hi!")
|
|
|
|
#. Finally, we tell Python to schedule our ``main()`` async function, which in turn will execute Pyrogram's methods.
|
|
Using :meth:`~pyrogram.Client.run` this way is a friendly alternative for the much more verbose
|
|
``asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
app.run(main())
