Telethon
|
|
========
|
|
.. epigraph::
|
|
|
|
This is the ``asyncio`` version of the library. If you don't know how
|
|
to work with it, `see here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Telethon`__.
|
|
|
|
**Telethon** is Telegram client implementation in **Python 3** which uses
|
|
the latest available API of Telegram.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What is this?
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Telegram is a popular messaging application. This library is meant
|
|
to make it easy for you to write Python programs that can interact
|
|
with Telegram. Think of it as a wrapper that has already done the
|
|
heavy job for you, so you can focus on developing an application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
.. code:: sh
|
|
|
|
pip3 install telethon-aio
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
Be careful **not** to install ``telethon-asyncio`` or other
|
|
variants, someone else name-squatted those and are unofficial!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Creating a client
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
import asyncio
|
|
from telethon import TelegramClient
|
|
|
|
# These example values won't work. You must get your own api_id and
|
|
# api_hash from https://my.telegram.org, under API Development.
|
|
api_id = 12345
|
|
api_hash = '0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef'
|
|
|
|
client = TelegramClient('session_name', api_id, api_hash)
|
|
async def main():
|
|
await client.start()
|
|
|
|
asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())
|
|
|
|
Doing stuff
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Note that this assumes you're inside an "async def" method. Check out the
|
|
`Python documentation <https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-dev.html>`_
|
|
if you're new with ``asyncio``.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
print((await client.get_me()).stringify())
|
|
|
|
await client.send_message('username', 'Hello! Talking to you from Telethon')
|
|
await client.send_file('username', '/home/myself/Pictures/holidays.jpg')
|
|
|
|
await client.download_profile_photo('me')
|
|
messages = await client.get_messages('username')
|
|
await client.download_media(messages[0])
|
|
|
|
|

Do you like how Telethon looks? Check out
|
|
`Read The Docs <http://telethon.rtfd.io/>`_
|
|
for a more in-depth explanation, with examples, troubleshooting issues,
|
|
and more useful information. Note that the examples there are written for
|
|
the threaded version, not the one using asyncio. However, you just need to
|
|
await every remote call.
