Scheduling Tasks
================
Scheduling tasks means executing one or more functions periodically at pre-defined intervals or after a delay. This is
useful, for example, to send recurring messages to specific chats or users.
Since there's no built-in task scheduler in Pyrogram, this page will only show examples on how to integrate Pyrogram
with the main Python schedule libraries such as ``schedule`` and ``apscheduler``. For more detailed information, you can
visit and learn from each library documentation.
Using ``schedule``
------------------
- Install with ``pip3 install schedule``
- Documentation: https://schedule.readthedocs.io
.. code-block:: python
import time
import schedule
from pyrogram import Client
app = Client("my_account")
def job():
app.send_message("me", "Hi!")
schedule.every(3).seconds.do(job)
with app:
while True:
schedule.run_pending()
time.sleep(1)
Using ``apscheduler``
---------------------
- Install with ``pip3 install apscheduler``
- Documentation: https://apscheduler.readthedocs.io
.. code-block:: python
from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler
from pyrogram import Client
app = Client("my_account")
def job():
app.send_message("me", "Hi!")
scheduler = BackgroundScheduler()
scheduler.add_job(job, "interval", seconds=3)
scheduler.start()
app.run()
``apscheduler`` does also support async code, here's an example with
`Pyrogram Asyncio <https://docs.pyrogram.org/intro/install.html#asynchronous>`_:
.. code-block:: python
from apscheduler.schedulers.asyncio import AsyncIOScheduler
from pyrogram import Client
app = Client("my_account")
async def job():
await app.send_message("me", "Hi!")
scheduler = AsyncIOScheduler()
scheduler.add_job(job, "interval", seconds=3)
scheduler.start()
app.run()
