This wiki page is meant to be a place where everyone can find and contribute examples on how to use Telethon.
Welcome to the wiki! This place hosts all the information you need in order to work with this library. **Telethon** is a Telegram client implementation in **Python** which uses the latest available API of Telegram. Check the links on the sidebar for more!
Before opening an issue about how to use the library, **please** make sure you've investigated and read the wiki enough! Issues lacking of any sense at all end on the [Wall of Shame](https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon/wiki/Wall-of-Shame).

Connect. You're ready to go.
Being written **entirely** on Python, Telethon can run as a script under any environment you wish, (yes,

Do you want check for new messages at a given time and find relevant ones? Write a script.
**It is very important** that your system time is [on sync](https://time.is/)! Telegram won't send a reply back *at all* if your system time is too ahead of the current time, or too behind. This will most likely be the cause for the following errors:
