About
-----

Pyrogram is a fully functional Telegram Client Library written from the ground up in Python.
It offers **simple** and **complete** access to the Telegram Messenger API and is designed for Python developers
keen on building custom Telegram applications.

Features
--------

-   **Easy to setup**: Pyrogram can be easily installed and upgraded using **pip**, requires
    a minimal set of dependencies (which are also automatically managed) and very few lines
    of code to get started with.

-   **Easy to use**: Pyrogram provides idiomatic, developer-friendly, clean and readable
    Python code (either generated or hand-written) making the Telegram API simple to use.

-   **High level**: Pyrogram automatically handles all the low-level details of
    communication with the Telegram servers by implementing the
    `MTProto Mobile Protocol v2.0`_ and the mechanisms needed for establishing
    a reliable connection.

-   **Updated**: Pyrogram makes use of the latest Telegram API version, currently `Layer 75`_.

-   **Documented**: Pyrogram API public 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-like methods offered by the Pyrogram API,
    the library also provides a complete, low-level access to every single Telegram API method.
