Basic Usage
===========
.. note::
All the snippets below assume you have successfully created and started a :class:`Client <pyrogram.Client>`
instance. You also must be authorized, that is, a valid *.session file does exist in your working directory.
Simple API Access
-----------------
The easiest way to interact with the Telegram API is via the :class:`Client <pyrogram.Client>` class, which
exposes `Bot API-like`_ methods:
- Get information about the authorized user:
.. code-block:: python
print(app.get_me())
- Send a message to yourself (Saved Messages):
.. code-block:: python
app.send_message("me", "Hi there! I'm using Pyrogram")
- Upload a new photo (with caption):
.. code-block:: python
app.send_photo("me", "/home/dan/perla.jpg", "Cute!")
.. seealso:: For a complete list of the available methods and an exhaustive description for each of them, have a look
at the :class:`Client <pyrogram.Client>` class.
.. _using-raw-functions:
Using Raw Functions
-------------------
If you want **complete**, low-level access to the Telegram API you have to use the raw
:mod:`functions <pyrogram.api.functions>` and :mod:`types <pyrogram.api.types>` exposed by the ``pyrogram.api``
package and call any Telegram API method you wish using the :meth:`send() <pyrogram.Client.send>` method provided by
the Client class.
Here some examples:
- Update first name, last name and bio:
.. code-block:: python
from pyrogram.api import functions
...
app.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-block:: python
from pyrogram.api import functions, types
...
app.send(
functions.account.SetPrivacy(
key=types.InputPrivacyKeyStatusTimestamp(),
rules=[types.InputPrivacyValueAllowContacts()]
)
)
- Invite users to your channel/supergroup:
.. code-block:: python
from pyrogram.api import functions, types
...
app.send(
functions.channels.InviteToChannel(
channel=app.resolve_peer(123456789), # ID or Username
users=[ # The users you want to invite
app.resolve_peer(23456789), # By ID
app.resolve_peer("username"), # By username
app.resolve_peer("393281234567"), # By phone number
]
)
)

Usage
=====
Having your `project set up`_ and your account authorized_, it's time to play with the API.
In this section, you'll be shown two ways of communicating with Telegram using Pyrogram. Let's start!
High-level API
--------------
The easiest and recommended way to interact with Telegram is via the high-level Pyrogram methods_ and types_, which are
named after the `Telegram Bot API`_.
.. hint:: If you can't find a method you want to use, chances are it's not implemented yet. In this case, you must use
the `Raw Functions`_. Meanwhile, feel free to join our Community_ if you're in trouble or want to propose a
new method!
Examples:
- Get information about the authorized user:
.. code-block:: python
print(app.get_me())
- Send a message to yourself (Saved Messages):
.. code-block:: python
app.send_message("me", "Hi there! I'm using Pyrogram")
- Upload a new photo (with caption):
.. code-block:: python
app.send_photo("me", "/home/dan/perla.jpg", "Cute!")
.. _using-raw-functions:
Using Raw Functions
-------------------
If you can't find a high-level method for your needs or want complete, low-level access to the whole Telegram API,
you have to use the raw :mod:`functions <pyrogram.api.functions>` and :mod:`types <pyrogram.api.types>` exposed by the
``pyrogram.api`` package and call any Telegram API method you wish using the :meth:`send() <pyrogram.Client.send>`
method provided by the Client class.
.. hint:: Every high-level method mentioned in the section above is built on top of these raw functions.
Nothing stops you from using the raw functions only, but they are rather complex and `plenty of them`_ are already
re-implemented by providing a much simpler and cleaner interface which is very similar to the Bot API.
If you think a raw function should be wrapped and added as a high-level method, feel free to ask in our Community_!
Examples:
- Update first name, last name and bio:
.. code-block:: python
from pyrogram.api import functions
...
app.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-block:: python
from pyrogram.api import functions, types
...
app.send(
functions.account.SetPrivacy(
key=types.InputPrivacyKeyStatusTimestamp(),
rules=[types.InputPrivacyValueAllowContacts()]
)
)
- Invite users to your channel/supergroup:
.. code-block:: python
from pyrogram.api import functions, types
...
app.send(
functions.channels.InviteToChannel(
channel=app.resolve_peer(123456789), # ID or Username
users=[ # The users you want to invite
app.resolve_peer(23456789), # By ID
app.resolve_peer("username"), # By username
app.resolve_peer("393281234567"), # By phone number
]
)
