Working with Chats and Channels
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
These examples assume you have read :ref:`full-api`.
|

|
Joining a chat or channel
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Note that :tl:`Chat` are normal groups, and :tl:`Channel` are a
|
|
special form of :tl:`Chat`, which can also be super-groups if
|
|
their ``megagroup`` member is `True`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Joining a public channel
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Once you have the :ref:`entity <entities>` of the channel you want to join
|
|
to, you can make use of the :tl:`JoinChannelRequest` to join such channel:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from telethon.tl.functions.channels import JoinChannelRequest
|
|
await client(JoinChannelRequest(channel))
|
|
|
|
# In the same way, you can also leave such channel
|
|
from telethon.tl.functions.channels import LeaveChannelRequest
|
|
await client(LeaveChannelRequest(input_channel))
|
|
|
|
|
|
For more on channels, check the `channels namespace`__.
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Joining a private chat or channel
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
If all you have is a link like this one:
|
|
``https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAFFszQPyPEZ7wgxLtd``, you already have
|
|
enough information to join! The part after the
|
|
``https://t.me/joinchat/``, this is, ``AAAAAFFszQPyPEZ7wgxLtd`` on this
|
|
example, is the ``hash`` of the chat or channel. Now you can use
|
|
:tl:`ImportChatInviteRequest` as follows:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from telethon.tl.functions.messages import ImportChatInviteRequest
|
|
updates = await client(ImportChatInviteRequest('AAAAAEHbEkejzxUjAUCfYg'))
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adding someone else to such chat or channel
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to add yourself, maybe because you're already in,
|
|
you can always add someone else with the :tl:`AddChatUserRequest`, which
|
|
use is very straightforward, or :tl:`InviteToChannelRequest` for channels:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
# For normal chats
|
|
from telethon.tl.functions.messages import AddChatUserRequest
|
|
|
|
# Note that ``user_to_add`` is NOT the name of the parameter.
|
|
# It's the user you want to add (``user_id=user_to_add``).
|
|
await client(AddChatUserRequest(
|
|
chat_id,
|
|
user_to_add,
|
|
fwd_limit=10 # Allow the user to see the 10 last messages
|
|
))
|
|
|
|
# For channels (which includes megagroups)
|
|
from telethon.tl.functions.channels import InviteToChannelRequest
|
|
|
|
await client(InviteToChannelRequest(
|
|
channel,
|
|
[users_to_add]
|
|
))
|
|
|
|
Note that this method will only really work for friends or bot accounts.
|
|
Trying to mass-add users with this approach will not work, and can put both
|
|
your account and group to risk, possibly being flagged as spam and limited.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Checking a link without joining
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
If you don't need to join but rather check whether it's a group or a
|
|
channel, you can use the :tl:`CheckChatInviteRequest`, which takes in
|
|
the hash of said channel or group.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Increasing View Count in a Channel
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
It has been asked `quite`__ `a few`__ `times`__ (really, `many`__), and
|
|
while I don't understand why so many people ask this, the solution is to
|
|
use :tl:`GetMessagesViewsRequest`, setting ``increment=True``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Obtain `channel' through dialogs or through client.get_entity() or anyhow.
|
|
# Obtain `msg_ids' through `.get_messages()` or anyhow. Must be a list.
|
|
|
|
await client(GetMessagesViewsRequest(
|
|
peer=channel,
|
|
id=msg_ids,
|
|
increment=True
|
|
))
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that you can only do this **once or twice a day** per account,
|
|
running this in a loop will obviously not increase the views forever
|
|
unless you wait a day between each iteration. If you run it any sooner
|
|
than that, the views simply won't be increased.
