Sending stickers
================
Stickers are nothing else than ``files``, and when you successfully retrieve
the stickers for a certain sticker set, all you will have are ``handles`` to
these files. Remember, the files Telegram holds on their servers can be
referenced through this pair of ID/hash (unique per user), and you need to
use this handle when sending a "document" message. This working example will
send yourself the very first sticker you have:
.. code-block:: python
# Get all the sticker sets this user has
from telethon.tl.functions.messages import GetAllStickersRequest
sticker_sets = await client(GetAllStickersRequest(0))
# Choose a sticker set
from telethon.tl.functions.messages import GetStickerSetRequest
from telethon.tl.types import InputStickerSetID
sticker_set = sticker_sets.sets[0]
# Get the stickers for this sticker set
stickers = await client(GetStickerSetRequest(
stickerset=InputStickerSetID(
id=sticker_set.id, access_hash=sticker_set.access_hash
)
))
# Stickers are nothing more than files, so send that
await client.send_file('me', stickers.documents[0])
