class TelegramClient(TelegramBareClient):
    """
    Initializes the Telegram client with the specified API ID and Hash.

    Args:
        session (`str` | `telethon.sessions.abstract.Session`, `None`):
            The file name of the session file to be used if a string is
            given (it may be a full path), or the Session instance to be
            used otherwise. If it's ``None``, the session will not be saved,
            and you should call :meth:`.log_out()` when you're done.

        api_id (`int` | `str`):
            The API ID you obtained from https://my.telegram.org.

        api_hash (`str`):
            The API ID you obtained from https://my.telegram.org.

        connection_mode (`ConnectionMode`, optional):
            The connection mode to be used when creating a new connection
            to the servers. Defaults to the ``TCP_FULL`` mode.
            This will only affect how messages are sent over the network
            and how much processing is required before sending them.

        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` | `dict`, optional):
            A tuple consisting of ``(socks.SOCKS5, 'host', port)``.
            See https://github.com/Anorov/PySocks#usage-1 for more.

        update_workers (`int`, optional):
            If specified, represents how many extra threads should
            be spawned to handle incoming updates, and updates will
            be kept in memory until they are processed. Note that
            you must set this to at least ``0`` if you want to be
            able to process updates through :meth:`updates.poll()`.

        timeout (`int` | `float` | `timedelta`, optional):
            The timeout to be used when receiving responses from
            the network. Defaults to 5 seconds.

        spawn_read_thread (`bool`, optional):
            Whether to use an extra background thread or not. Defaults
            to ``True`` so receiving items from the network happens
            instantly, as soon as they arrive. Can still be disabled
            if you want to run the library without any additional thread.

        report_errors (`bool`, optional):
            Whether to report RPC errors or not. Defaults to ``True``,
            see :ref:`api-status` for more information.

    Kwargs:
        Some extra parameters are required when establishing the first
        connection. These are are (along with their default values):

            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.

            offset_date (`datetime`):
                Offset date (messages *previous* to this date will be
                retrieved). Exclusive.

            offset_id (`int`):
                Offset message ID (only messages *previous* to the given
                ID will be retrieved). Exclusive.

            max_id (`int`):
                All the messages with a higher (newer) ID or equal to this will
                be excluded

            min_id (`int`):
                All the messages with a lower (older) ID or equal to this will
                be excluded.

            add_offset (`int`):
                Additional message offset (all of the specified offsets +
                this offset = older messages).

            batch_size (`int`):
                Messages will be returned in chunks of this size (100 is
                the maximum). While it makes no sense to modify this value,
                you are still free to do so.

            wait_time (`int`):
                Wait time between different :tl:`GetHistoryRequest`. Use this
                parameter to avoid hitting the ``FloodWaitError`` as needed.
                If left to ``None``, it will default to 1 second only if
                the limit is higher than 3000.

            _total (`list`, optional):
                A single-item list to pass the total parameter by reference.

        Yields:
            Instances of :tl:`Message` with extra attributes:

                * ``.sender`` = entity of the sender.

                * ``.to`` = entity to which the message was sent.

        Notes:
            Telegram's flood wait limit for :tl:`GetHistoryRequest` seems to
            be around 30 seconds per 3000 messages, therefore a sleep of 1
            second is the default for this limit (or above). You may need
            an higher limit, so you're free to set the ``batch_size`` that
            you think may be good.

                Who will receive the file.

            file (`str` | `bytes` | `file` | `media`):
                The path of the file, byte array, or stream that will be sent.
                Note that if a byte array or a stream is given, a filename
                or its type won't be inferred, and it will be sent as an
                "unnamed application/octet-stream".

                Subsequent calls with the very same file will result in
                immediate uploads, unless ``.clear_file_cache()`` is called.

                Furthermore the file may be any media (a message, document,
                photo or similar) so that it can be resent without the need
                to download and re-upload it again.

                If a list or similar is provided, the files in it will be
                sent as an album in the order in which they appear, sliced
                in chunks of 10 if more than 10 are given.

            caption (`str`, optional):
                Optional caption for the sent media message.

            force_document (`bool`, optional):
                If left to ``False`` and the file is a path that ends with
                the extension of an image file or a video file, it will be
                sent as such. Otherwise always as a document.

            progress_callback (`callable`, optional):
                A callback function accepting two parameters:
                ``(sent bytes, total)``.

            reply_to (`int` | :tl:`Message`):
                Same as reply_to from .send_message().

            attributes (`list`, optional):
                Optional attributes that override the inferred ones, like
                :tl:`DocumentAttributeFilename` and so on.

            thumb (`str` | `bytes` | `file`, optional):
                Optional thumbnail (for videos).

            allow_cache (`bool`, optional):
                Whether to allow using the cached version stored in the
                database or not. Defaults to ``True`` to avoid re-uploads.
                Must be ``False`` if you wish to use different attributes
                or thumb than those that were used when the file was cached.

            parse_mode (`str`, optional):
                The parse mode for the caption message.

        Kwargs:
           If "is_voice_note" in kwargs, despite its value, and the file is
           sent as a document, it will be sent as a voice note.

        Notes:
            If the ``hachoir3`` package (``hachoir`` module) is installed,
            it will be used to determine metadata from audio and video files.

        Returns:
            The :tl:`Message` (or messages) containing the sent file,
            or messages if a list of them was passed.
