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 be changed later as far as I'm aware. -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: - -```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 simply a JSON file which you can (but shouldn't) modify. - -Before using the client, you must be connected to Telegram. Doing so is very easy: -```python -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: -```python -client.is_user_authorized() # Returns True if you can send requests -``` - -If you're not authorized, you need to `.sign_in()`: -```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! \ No newline at end of file
