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-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
]
)
)
