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`_.
Here's a simple example:
.. code-block:: python
from pyrogram import Client
app = Client("my_account")
app.start()
print(app.get_me())
app.send_message("me", "Hi there! I'm using **Pyrogram**")
app.send_location("me", 51.500729, -0.124583)
app.stop()
You can also use Pyrogram in a context manager with the ``with`` statement. The Client will automatically
:meth:`start <pyrogram.Client.start>` and :meth:`stop <pyrogram.Client.stop>` gracefully, even in case of unhandled
exceptions in your code:
.. code-block:: python
from pyrogram import Client
app = Client("my_account")
with app:
print(app.get_me())
app.send_message("me", "Hi there! I'm using **Pyrogram**")
app.send_location("me", 51.500729, -0.124583)
More examples on `GitHub <https://github.com/pyrogram/pyrogram/tree/develop/examples>`_.
Raw Functions
-------------
If you can't find a high-level method for your needs or if you 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 (more on `GitHub <https://github.com/pyrogram/pyrogram/tree/develop/examples>`_):
- Update first name, last name and bio:
.. code-block:: python
from pyrogram import Client
from pyrogram.api import functions
with Client("my_account") as app:
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 import Client
from pyrogram.api import functions, types
with Client("my_account") as app:
app.send(
functions.account.SetPrivacy(
key=types.InputPrivacyKeyStatusTimestamp(),
rules=[types.InputPrivacyValueAllowContacts()]
)
)
- Invite users to your channel/supergroup:
.. code-block:: python
from pyrogram import Client
from pyrogram.api import functions, types
with Client("my_account") as app:
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
]
)
