Creating a Client
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before working with Telegram's API, you need to get your own API ID and hash:
|
|
|
|
1. Follow `this link <https://my.telegram.org/>`_ and login with your
|
|
phone number.
|
|
|
|
2. Click under API Development tools.
|
|
|
|
3. A *Create new application* window will appear. Fill in your application
|
|
details. There is no need to enter any *URL*, and only the first two
|
|
fields (*App title* and *Short name*) can currently be changed later.
|
|
|
|
4. Click on *Create application* at the end. Remember that your
|
|
**API hash is secret** and Telegram won't let you revoke it.
|
|
Don't post it anywhere!
|
|
|
|
Once that's ready, the next step is to create a ``TelegramClient``.
|
|
This class will be your main interface with Telegram's API, and creating
|
|
one is very simple:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from telethon import TelegramClient
|
|
|
|
# Use your own values here
|
|
api_id = 12345
|
|
api_hash = '0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef'
|
|
phone_number = '+34600000000'
|
|
|
|
client = TelegramClient('some_name', api_id, api_hash)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that ``'some_name'`` will be used to save your session (persistent
|
|
information such as access key and others) as ``'some_name.session'`` in
|
|
your disk. This is by default a database file using Python's ``sqlite3``.
|
|
|
|
Before using the client, you must be connected to Telegram.
|
|
Doing so is very easy:
|
|
|
|
``client.connect() # Must return True, otherwise, try again``
|
|
|
|
You may or may not be authorized yet. You must be authorized
|
|
before you're able to send any request:
|
|
|
|
``client.is_user_authorized() # Returns True if you can send requests``
|
|
|
|
If you're not authorized, you need to ``.sign_in()``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
client.send_code_request(phone_number)
|
|
myself = client.sign_in(phone_number, input('Enter code: '))
|
|
# If .sign_in raises PhoneNumberUnoccupiedError, use .sign_up instead
|
|
# If .sign_in raises SessionPasswordNeeded error, call .sign_in(password=...)
|
|
# You can import both exceptions from telethon.errors.
|
|
|
|
``myself`` is your Telegram user. You can view all the information about
|
|
yourself by doing ``print(myself.stringify())``. You're now ready to use
|
|
the client as you wish! Remember that any object returned by the API has
|
|
mentioned ``.stringify()`` method, and printing these might prove useful.
|
|
|
|
As a full example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
client = TelegramClient('anon', api_id, api_hash)
|
|
assert client.connect()
|
|
if not client.is_user_authorized():
|
|
client.send_code_request(phone_number)
|
|
me = client.sign_in(phone_number, input('Enter code: '))
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
If you want to use a **proxy**, you have to `install PySocks`__
|
|
(via pip or manual) and then set the appropriated parameters:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
import socks
|
|
client = TelegramClient('session_id',
|
|
api_id=12345, api_hash='0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef',
|
|
proxy=(socks.SOCKS5, 'localhost', 4444)
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
The ``proxy=`` argument should be a tuple, a list or a dict,
|
|
consisting of parameters described `here`__.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two Factor Authorization (2FA)
|
|
******************************
|
|
|
|
If you have Two Factor Authorization (from now on, 2FA) enabled on your
|
|
account, calling :meth:`telethon.TelegramClient.sign_in` will raise a
|
|
`SessionPasswordNeededError`. When this happens, just
|
|
:meth:`telethon.TelegramClient.sign_in` again with a ``password=``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
import getpass
|
|
from telethon.errors import SessionPasswordNeededError
|
|
|
|
client.sign_in(phone)
|
|
try:
|
|
client.sign_in(code=input('Enter code: '))
|
|
except SessionPasswordNeededError:
|
|
client.sign_in(password=getpass.getpass())
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't have 2FA enabled, but you would like to do so through Telethon,
|
|
take as example the following code snippet:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
import os
|
|
from hashlib import sha256
|
|
from telethon.tl.functions import account
|
|
from telethon.tl.types.account import PasswordInputSettings
|
|
|
|
new_salt = client(account.GetPasswordRequest()).new_salt
|
|
salt = new_salt + os.urandom(8) # new random salt
|
|
|
|
pw = 'secret'.encode('utf-8') # type your new password here
|
|
hint = 'hint'
|
|
|
|
pw_salted = salt + pw + salt
|
|
pw_hash = sha256(pw_salted).digest()
|
|
|
|
result = client(account.UpdatePasswordSettingsRequest(
|
|
current_password_hash=salt,
|
|
new_settings=PasswordInputSettings(
|
|
new_salt=salt,
|
|
new_password_hash=pw_hash,
|
|
hint=hint
|
|
)
|
|
))
