Error Handling
==============
Errors are inevitable when working with the API, and they must be correctly handled with ``try..except`` blocks in order
to control the behaviour of your application. Pyrogram errors all live inside the ``errors`` package:
.. code-block:: python
from pyrogram import errors
RPCError
--------
The father of all errors is named ``RPCError``. This error exists in form of a Python exception and is able to catch all
Telegram API related errors.
.. code-block:: python
from pyrogram.errors import RPCError
.. warning::
It must be noted that catching this error is bad practice, especially when no feedback is given (i.e. by
logging/printing the full error traceback), because it makes it impossible to understand what went wrong.
Error Categories
----------------
The ``RPCError`` packs together all the possible errors Telegram could raise, but to make things tidier, Pyrogram
provides categories of errors, which are named after the common HTTP errors:
.. code-block:: python
from pyrogram.errors import BadRequest, Forbidden, ...
- `303 - SeeOther <../api/errors#seeother>`_
- `400 - BadRequest <../api/errors#badrequest>`_
- `401 - Unauthorized <../api/errors#unauthorized>`_
- `403 - Forbidden <../api/errors#forbidden>`_
- `406 - NotAcceptable <../api/errors#notacceptable>`_
- `420 - Flood <../api/errors#flood>`_
- `500 - InternalServerError <../api/errors#internalservererror>`_
Unknown Errors
--------------
In case Pyrogram does not know anything yet about a specific error, it raises a special ``520 - UnknownError`` exception
and logs it in the ``unknown_errors.txt`` file. Users are invited to report these unknown errors.
Errors with Values
------------------
Exception objects may also contain some informative values. For example, ``FloodWait`` holds the amount of seconds you
have to wait before you can try again. The value is always stored in the ``x`` field of the returned exception object:
.. code-block:: python
import time
from pyrogram.errors import FloodWait
try:
...
except FloodWait as e:
time.sleep(e.x) # Wait before trying again
