print(client.get_me().stringify())
|
|
|
|
# Sending a message (you can use 'me' or 'self' to message yourself)
|
|
client.send_message('username', 'Hello World from Telethon!')

client.send_file('username', '/home/myself/Pictures/holidays.jpg')
|
|
|
|
# Retrieving messages from a chat
|
|
from telethon import utils
|
|
for message in client.iter_messages('username', limit=10):
|
|
print(utils.get_display_name(message.sender), message.message)
|
|
|
|
# Listing all the dialogs (conversations you have open)
