If it's `None`, the session will not be saved, and you should call :meth:`.log_out()` when you're done. Note that if you pass a string it will be a file in the current working directory, although you can also pass absolute paths. The session file contains enough information for you to login without re-sending the code, so if you have to enter the code more than once, maybe you're changing the working directory, renaming or removing the file, or using random names. api_id (`int` | `str`): The API ID you obtained from https://my.telegram.org. api_hash (`str`): The API hash you obtained from https://my.telegram.org. connection (`str`, optional): The connection mode to be used when creating a new connection to the servers. The available modes are: * ``'full'`` * ``'intermediate'`` * ``'abridged'`` * ``'obfuscated'`` * ``'http'`` Defaults to `telethon.network.connection.tcpfull.ConnectionTcpFull`. use_ipv6 (`bool`, optional): Whether to connect to the servers through IPv6 or not. By default this is `False` as IPv6 support is not too widespread yet. proxy (`tuple` | `list` | `dict`, optional): An iterable consisting of the proxy info. If `connection` is one of `MTProxy`, then it should contain MTProxy credentials: ``('hostname', port, 'secret')``. Otherwise, it's meant to store function parameters for PySocks, like ``(type, 'hostname', port)``. See https://github.com/Anorov/PySocks#usage-1 for more. local_addr (`str` | `tuple`, optional): Local host address (and port, optionally) used to bind the socket to locally. You only need to use this if you have multiple network cards and want to use a specific one. timeout (`int` | `float`, optional): The timeout in seconds to be used when connecting. This is **not** the timeout to be used when ``await``'ing for invoked requests, and you should use ``asyncio.wait`` or ``asyncio.wait_for`` for that. request_retries (`int` | `None`, optional): How many times a request should be retried. Request are retried when Telegram is having internal issues (due to either ``errors.ServerError`` or ``errors.RpcCallFailError``), when there is a ``errors.FloodWaitError`` less than `flood_sleep_threshold`, or when there's a migrate error. May take a negative or `None` value for infinite retries, but this is not recommended, since some requests can always trigger a call fail (such as searching for messages). connection_retries (`int` | `None`, optional): How many times the reconnection should retry, either on the initial connection or when Telegram disconnects us. May be set to a negative or `None` value for infinite retries, but this is not recommended, since the program can get stuck in an infinite loop. retry_delay (`int` | `float`, optional): The delay in seconds to sleep between automatic reconnections. auto_reconnect (`bool`, optional): Whether reconnection should be retried `connection_retries` times automatically if Telegram disconnects us or not. sequential_updates (`bool`, optional): By default every incoming update will create a new task, so you can handle several updates in parallel. Some scripts need the order in which updates are processed to be sequential, and this setting allows them to do so. If set to `True`, incoming updates will be put in a queue and processed sequentially. This means your event handlers should *not* perform long-running operations since new updates are put inside of an unbounded queue. flood_sleep_threshold (`int` | `float`, optional): The threshold below which the library should automatically sleep on flood wait and slow mode wait errors (inclusive). For instance, if a ``FloodWaitError`` for 17s occurs and `flood_sleep_threshold` is 20s, the library will ``sleep`` automatically. If the error was for 21s, it would ``raise FloodWaitError`` instead. Values larger than a day (like ``float('inf')``) will be changed to a day. raise_last_call_error (`bool`, optional): When API calls fail in a way that causes Telethon to retry automatically, should the RPC error of the last attempt be raised instead of a generic ValueError. This is mostly useful for detecting when Telegram has internal issues. device_model (`str`, optional): "Device model" to be sent when creating the initial connection. Defaults to 'PC (n)bit' derived from ``platform.uname().machine``, or its direct value if unknown. system_version (`str`, optional): "System version" to be sent when creating the initial connection. Defaults to ``platform.uname().release`` stripped of everything ahead of -. app_version (`str`, optional): "App version" to be sent when creating the initial connection. Defaults to `telethon.version.__version__`. lang_code (`str`, optional): "Language code" to be sent when creating the initial connection. Defaults to ``'en'``. system_lang_code (`str`, optional): "System lang code" to be sent when creating the initial connection. Defaults to `lang_code`. loop (`asyncio.AbstractEventLoop`, optional): Asyncio event loop to use. Defaults to `asyncio.get_event_loop()`. This argument is ignored. base_logger (`str` | `logging.Logger`, optional): Base logger name or instance to use. If a `str` is given, it'll be passed to `logging.getLogger()`. If a `logging.Logger` is given, it'll be used directly. If something else or nothing is given, the default logger will be used. receive_updates (`bool`, optional): Whether the client will receive updates or not. By default, updates will be received from Telegram as they occur. Turning this off means that Telegram will not send updates at all so event handlers and QR login will not work. However, certain scripts don't need updates, so this will reduce the amount of bandwidth used.

It does so by creating a proxy object over the current client through which making requests will use :tl:`InvokeWithTakeout` to wrap them. In other words, returns the current client modified so that requests are done as a takeout: Some of the calls made through the takeout session will have lower flood limits. This is useful if you want to export the data from conversations or mass-download media, since the rate limits will be lower. Only some requests will be affected, and you will need to adjust the `wait_time` of methods like `client.iter_messages `. By default, all parameters are `None`, and you need to enable those you plan to use by setting them to either `True` or `False`. You should ``except errors.TakeoutInitDelayError as e``, since this exception will raise depending on the condition of the session. You can then access ``e.seconds`` to know how long you should wait for before calling the method again. There's also a `success` property available in the takeout proxy object, so from the `with` body you can set the boolean result that will be sent back to Telegram. But if it's left `None` as by default, then the action is based on the `finalize` parameter. If it's `True` then the takeout will be finished, and if no exception occurred during it, then `True` will be considered as a result. Otherwise, the takeout will not be finished and its ID will be preserved for future usage in the session.

Note that if you want to perform a global search, you **must** set a non-empty `search` string, a `filter`. or `from_user`. limit (`int` | `None`, optional): Number of messages to be retrieved. Due to limitations with the API retrieving more than 3000 messages will take longer than half a minute (or even more based on previous calls). The limit may also be `None`, which would eventually return the whole history. By default, there is no limit set when using the result as an iterator.

If the ``ids`` parameter is used, this time will default to 10 seconds only if the amount of IDs is higher than 300. ids (`int`, `list`): A single integer ID (or several IDs) for the message that should be returned. This parameter takes precedence over the rest (which will be ignored if this is set). This can for instance be used to get the message with ID 123 from a channel. Note that if the message doesn't exist, `None` will appear in its place, so that zipping the list of IDs with the messages can match one-to-one. .. note:: At the time of writing, Telegram will **not** return :tl:`MessageEmpty` for :tl:`InputMessageReplyTo` IDs that failed (i.e. the message is not replying to any, or is replying to a deleted message). This means that it is **not** possible to match messages one-by-one, so be careful if you use non-integers in this parameter. reverse (`bool`, optional): If set to `True`, the messages will be returned in reverse order (from oldest to newest, instead of the default newest to oldest). This also means that the meaning of `offset_id` and `offset_date` parameters is reversed, although they will still be exclusive. `min_id` becomes equivalent to `offset_id` instead of being `max_id` as well since messages are returned in ascending order. You cannot use this if both `entity` and `ids` are `None`. reply_to (`int`, optional): If set to a message ID, the messages that reply to this ID will be returned.

Using it in a chat or private conversation will result in ``telethon.errors.PeerIdInvalidError`` to occur. When using this parameter, the ``filter`` and ``search`` parameters have no effect, since Telegram's API doesn't support searching messages in replies. .. note:: This feature is used to get replies to a message in the *discussion* group. If the same broadcast channel sends a message and replies to it itself, that reply will not be included in the results. scheduled (`bool`, optional): If set to `True`, messages which are scheduled will be returned. All other parameter will be ignored for this, except `entity`. Yields Instances of `Message `.

The file must also be small in dimensions and in disk size. Successful thumbnails were files below 20kB and 320x320px. Width/height and dimensions/size ratios may be important. For Telegram to accept a thumbnail, you must provide the dimensions of the underlying media through ``attributes=`` with :tl:`DocumentAttributesVideo` or by installing the optional ``hachoir`` dependency. force_document (`bool`, optional): Whether to send the given file as a document or not. clear_draft (`bool`, optional): Whether the existing draft should be cleared or not. buttons (`list`, `_custom.Button `, :tl:`KeyboardButton`): The matrix (list of lists), row list or button to be shown after sending the message.

You can also pass a list or iterable of entities, and they will be efficiently fetched from the network. Arguments entity (`str` | `int` | :tl:`Peer` | :tl:`InputPeer`): If a username is given, **the username will be resolved** making an API call every time. Resolving usernames is an expensive operation and will start hitting flood waits around 50 usernames in a short period of time. If you want to get the entity for a *cached* username, you should first `get_input_entity(username) ` which will use the cache), and then use `get_entity` with the result of the previous call. Similar limits apply to invite links, and you should use their ID instead. Using phone numbers (from people in your contact list), exact names, integer IDs or :tl:`Peer` rely on a `get_input_entity` first, which in turn needs the entity to be in cache, unless a :tl:`InputPeer` was passed. Unsupported types will raise ``TypeError``. If the entity can't be found, ``ValueError`` will be raised. Returns :tl:`User`, :tl:`Chat` or :tl:`Channel` corresponding to the input entity.

Most requests use this kind of :tl:`InputPeer`, so this is the most suitable call to make for those cases. **Generally you should let the library do its job** and don't worry about getting the input entity first, but if you're going to use an entity often, consider making the call: Arguments entity (`str` | `int` | :tl:`Peer` | :tl:`InputPeer`): If a username or invite link is given, **the library will use the cache**. This means that it's possible to be using a username that *changed* or an old invite link (this only happens if an invite link for a small group chat is used after it was upgraded to a mega-group). If the username or ID from the invite link is not found in the cache, it will be fetched. The same rules apply to phone numbers (``'+34 123456789'``) from people in your contact list. If an exact name is given, it must be in the cache too. This is not reliable as different people can share the same name and which entity is returned is arbitrary, and should be used only for quick tests. If a positive integer ID is given, the entity will be searched in cached users, chats or channels, without making any call. If a negative integer ID is given, the entity will be searched exactly as either a chat (prefixed with ``-``) or as a channel (prefixed with ``-100``). If a :tl:`Peer` is given, it will be searched exactly in the cache as either a user, chat or channel. If the given object can be turned into an input entity directly, said operation will be done. Unsupported types will raise ``TypeError``. If the entity can't be found, ``ValueError`` will be raised. Returns :tl:`InputPeerUser`, :tl:`InputPeerChat` or :tl:`InputPeerChannel` or :tl:`InputPeerSelf` if the parameter is ``'me'`` or ``'self'``. If you need to get the ID of yourself, you should use `get_me` with ``input_peer=True``) instead.
