<h1>Telethon API</h1>
|
|
<p>This documentation was generated straight from the <code>scheme.tl</code>
|
|
provided by Telegram. However, there is no official documentation per se
|
|
on what the methods, constructors and types mean. Nevertheless, this
|
|
page aims to provide easy access to all the available methods, their
|
|
definition and parameters.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Although this documentation was generated for <i>Telethon</i>, it may
|
|
be useful for any other Telegram library out there.</p><h3 id="methods">Methods</h3>
|
|
<p>Currently there are <b>{method_count} methods</b> available for the layer
|
|
{layer}. The complete list can be seen <a href="methods/index.html">here</a>.
|
|
<br />
|
|
To invoke any of these methods (also called <i>requests</i>), you can do
|
|
as shown on the following example:</p>
|
|
<pre><span class="sh3">#!/usr/bin/python3</span>
|
|
<span class="sh4">from</span> telethon <span class="sh4">import</span> TelegramClient
|
|
<span class="sh4">from</span> telethon.tl.functions.messages <span class="sh4">import</span> GetHistoryRequest
|
|
<span class="sh4">from</span> telethon.utils <span class="sh4">import</span> get_input_peer
|
|
|
|
<span class="sh3"># Use your own values here</span>
|
|
api_id = <span class="sh1">12345</span>
|
|
api_hash = <span class="sh2">'0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef'</span>
|
|
phone_number = <span class="sh2">'+34600000000'</span>
|
|
|
|
<span class="sh3"># Create the client and connect</span>
|
|
client = TelegramClient(<span class="sh2">'username'</span>, api_id, api_hash)
|
|
client.connect()
|
|
|
|
<span class="sh3"># Ensure you're authorized</span>
|
|
if not client.is_user_authorized():
|
|
client.send_code_request(phone)
|
|
client.sign_in(phone, input(<span class="sh2">'Enter the code: '</span>))
|
|
|
|
<span class="sh3"># Using built-in methods</span>
|
|
dialogs, entities = client.get_dialogs(<span class="sh1">10</span>)
|
|
entity = entities[<span class="sh1">0</span>]
|
|
|
|
<span class="sh3"># !! Invoking a request manually !!</span>
|
|
result = <b>client.invoke</b>(
|
|
GetHistoryRequest(
|
|
get_input_peer(entity),
|
|
limit=<span class="sh1">20</span>,
|
|
offset_date=<span class="sh1">None</span>,
|
|
offset_id=<span class="sh1">0</span>,
|
|
max_id=<span class="sh1">0</span>,
|
|
min_id=<span class="sh1">0</span>,
|
|
add_offset=<span class="sh1">0</span>))
|
|
|
|
<span class="sh3"># Now you have access to the first 20 messages</span>
|
|
messages = result.messages</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>As you can see, manually invoking requests with <code>client.invoke()</code>
|
|
is way more verbose than using the built-in methods. However, and given
|
|
that there are so many methods available, it's impossible to provide a nice
|
|
interface to things that may change over time. To get full access, however,
|
|
you're still able to invoke these methods manually.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="types">Types</h3>
|
|
<p>Currently there are <b>{type_count} types</b>. You can see the full
|
|
list <a href="types/index.html">here</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Telegram types are the <i>abstract</i> results that you receive
|
|
after invoking a request. They are "abstract" because they can have
|
|
multiple constructors. For instance, the abstract type <code>User</code>
|
|
can be either <code>UserEmpty</code> or <code>User</code>. You should,
|
|
most of the time, make sure you received the desired type by using
|
|
the <code>isinstance(result, Constructor)</code> Python function.
|
|
|
|
When a request needs a Telegram type as argument, you should create
|
|
an instance of it by using one of its, possibly multiple, constructors.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="constructors">Constructors</h3>
|
|
<p>Currently there are <b>{constructor_count} constructors</b>. You can see
|
|
the full list <a href="constructors/index.html">here</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Constructors are the way you can create instances of the abstract types
|
|
described above, and also the instances which are actually returned from
|
|
the functions although they all share a common abstract type.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="core">Core types</h3>
|
|
<p>Core types are types from which the rest of Telegram types build upon:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li id="int"><b>int</b>:
|
|
The value should be an integer type, like <span class="sh1">42</span>.
|
|
It should have 32 bits or less. You can check the bit length by
|
|
calling <code>a.bit_length()</code>, where <code>a</code> is an
|
|
integer variable.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li id="long"><b>long</b>:
|
|
Different name for an integer type. The numbers given should have
|
|
64 bits or less.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li id="int128"><b>int128</b>:
|
|
Another integer type, should have 128 bits or less.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li id="int256"><b>int256</b>:
|
|
The largest integer type, allowing 256 bits or less.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li id="double"><b>double</b>:
|
|
The value should be a floating point value, such as
|
|
<span class="sh1">123.456</span>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li id="vector"><b>Vector<T></b>:
|
|
If a type <code>T</code> is wrapped around <code>Vector<T></code>,
|
|
then it means that the argument should be a <i>list</i> of it.
|
|
For instance, a valid value for <code>Vector<int></code>
|
|
would be <code>[1, 2, 3]</code>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li id="string"><b>string</b>:
|
|
A valid UTF-8 string should be supplied. This is right how
|
|
Python strings work, no further encoding is required.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li id="bool"><b>Bool</b>:
|
|
Either <code>True</code> or <code>False</code>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li id="true"><b>true</b>:
|
|
These arguments aren't actually sent but rather encoded as flags.
|
|
Any truthy value (<code>True</code>, <code>7</code>) will enable
|
|
this flag, although it's recommended to use <code>True</code> or
|
|
<code>None</code> to symbolize that it's not present.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li id="bytes"><b>bytes</b>:
|
|
A sequence of bytes, like <code>b'hello'</code>, should be supplied.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li id="date"><b>date</b>:
|
|
Although this type is internally used as an <code>int</code>,
|
|
you can pass a <code>datetime</code> object instead to work
|
|
with date parameters.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
