Welcome to Pyrogram's Documentation! Here you can find resources for learning how to use the framework.
Contents are organized into self-contained topics and can be accessed from the sidebar, or by following them in order
using the Next button at the end of each page. But first, here's a brief overview of what is this all about.

About
-----

**Pyrogram** is an elegant, easy-to-use Telegram_ client library and framework written from the ground up in Python and C.
It enables you to easily create custom apps using both user and bot identities (bot API alternative) via the `MTProto API`_.

Features
--------

-   **Easy**: You can install Pyrogram with pip and start building your applications right away.
-   **Elegant**: Low-level details are abstracted and re-presented in a much nicer and easier way.
-   **Fast**: Crypto parts are boosted up by TgCrypto_, a high-performance library written in pure C.
-   **Documented**: Pyrogram API methods, types and public interfaces are well documented.
-   **Type-hinted**: Exposed Pyrogram types and method parameters are all type-hinted.
-   **Updated**, to the latest Telegram API version, currently Layer 97 on top of `MTProto 2.0`_.
-   **Pluggable**: The Smart Plugin system allows to write components with minimal boilerplate code.
-   **Comprehensive**: Execute any advanced action an official client is able to do, and even more.
