Pure Python 3 MTProto API Telegram client library, for bots too!

telethon's Issues

Add ability to show sessions

The title is self-descriptive: *.session files should have a way to be shown via Telethon.

MessageService error in interactive_telegram_client.py

Hi again,
i found a problem in interactive_telegram_client.py. when you call get_message_history for a group which a user joined recently, you have an error.
for fix this error i add this liens before "if msg.media:" about line 152:

    if isinstance(msg, MessageService):
        continue

Bug in channel and group message id (not in Users)

Hi Dears,
when i take messages with command
total_count, messages, senders = client.get_message_history(entity, limit=10)
and forward received messages , wrong message forwarded!
but in user message (if entity is User) all job's work fine

ValueError: The result of the invoked request is always None

After I switched to the upstream version I got the following error a few times

ValueError: The result of the invoked request is always None

Here is my traceback.

ValueError: The result of the invoked request is always None

I do not know how exactly to reproduce the error. As I understand it happens if I join new a channel then try to get_history with 30 messages.

is there any method for delete messages?

hello, is there any method equivalent to telegram-cli delete-msg command?

Timeout for invoke

We have to implement a timeout in invoke. For example, we lost internet connection just before sending a message; we will trapped in infinite loop in reading receive.

How get users (list) from Supergroup?

How i can get all users from supergroup channel??? GetChannelsRequest, GetAllChatsRequest and GetChatsRequest take Error:
Unknown error message with code 400: CHANNEL_INVALID

Error after trying to download a file from another DC

Hi!
When I attempt to download a media from another DC, rather than on which I logged in, I get an error
Read RPC error: (RPCError(...), 'The file to be accessed is currently stored in a different data center (#X).')
and after an error
Read RPC error: (RPCError(...), 'The key is not registered in the system.')
After which the data no longer come. When i restart and use the session file, the same error occurs about the not registered key. It only helps to delete the session file.

Requests returning vector results are not supported

How to reproduce:
just invoke(ReceivedMessagesRequest(...))
then get:

Also session becomes completely broken after that and confimation code needs to be sent again

It seems to import the contact phone number does not work.

Optional sessions store

In my case I use Telethon for many users and I need store sessions in DB.
Maybe sessions storing in files should be optionally?
Thanks.

Better handling of ack requests

Sometimes at any random point in time, an ack request may be received, thus considering the invoked method to be confirmed. This will end the loop that checks whether the result was received yet or not, thus having a None result and failing at random points on the code.

The problem however is that there are some requests which do depend on the ack request to confirm the invoked method, such as the LogoutRequest. How to tell which should be confirmed and which shouldn't doesn't seem trivial, furthermore, this happens randomly (although it is more likely to happen if sending several GetFileRequest's, personal experience).

Maybe one should look into the tdesktop source to check how they handle this kind of stuff.

Odd msg_seqno expected (relevant message), but even received.

I receive telethon.errors.BadMessageError: (BadMessageError(...), 'Odd msg_seqno expected (relevant message), but even received.') when trying to invoke telethon.tl.types.InputChannelEmpty:

result = client.invoke(
InputChannelEmpty()
)
return result

How to join a channel/group?

I need to write a simple script having a function getting channel/group link as input which joins the group/channel and returns a boolean whether the joining was successful or not.

Well, I assume that I don't need update_handler. I just have to do authentication and then without client.run(), I just call the corresponding rpc functions as documented. Am I right?

Can anyone provide an example or something helpful. That would be a big help for me and future readers. Thanks.

Add ability to use two-steps verification

Currently, if two steps verification is enabled, the following error is raised:
RPCError(...), 'Unknown error message with code 401: SESSION_PASSWORD_NEEDED'

Add 2 factor auth

I have enabled 2 factor auth in my telegram and when I tried to login I got this:
RPCError: (RPCError(...), 'Unknown error message with code 401: SESSION_PASSWORD_NEEDED')

Should wait error !

is there any idea how to fix this ?

Error after several send/receive requests

I've made sending Pong if there's ping in the message body.
message is received in update_handler. Everything is done like in example. Several answers on Ping are send ok, but after that error is raised. What am I doing wrong?

Please give me a documentation!

Hi Dears,
Thank you for this best project in this section
there is a lot of class with a lot of attributes and a lot of function with a lot of parameter 😅
is there a document for help us to realize them?

thanks in advance.

How to add new contacts?

Hi. New in telegram api, i've researched webogram(js web version), so simple question

My goal is to add a bulk list of contacts from file, like .vcf file or phone per line
i've tried InputPhoneContact and ImportContactsRequest but got no expected result. either i send something wrong in these functions

What api calls should i use for this, can you help me please with code snippet?

add getContacts method

i didn`t found the getContacts method and its one of the most important methos
tnx for your time

Don't hardcode server_address in Session

Server IPs are regional and I was getting this first time
RPCError: (RPCError(...), 'The source IP address is associated with a different data center (#4, for registration).')
I created a session object and changed IP address and it worked but it would have been nicer if I could control this from settings.
By the way I suggest json over pickle to serialize session object.

Is it possible to login bot by using a token?

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'messages'

Got the following error a few times

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site/my_app.py", line 109, in <module>
    watch_telegram()
  File "site/my_app.py", line 94, in watch_telegram

    total_messages = getattr(result, 'count', len(result.messages))

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'messages'

I initialise my example exactly the same as it happens in the InteractiveTelegramClient. The get_content method is an equivalent run. (Basically the same code)

Issues running Telethon for the first time

If it's the first time running Telethon, these are some issues that some people (including me) have had:

• An exception happens after handling the InvalidDcError, "data is trying to be read outside the bounds".
• After a "corrupted .session" is created, the same packet is always received: b'l\xfe\xff\xff'.

Both however are solved by deleting the .session file. I don't know what could be causing this. Is b'l\xfe\xff\xff' some Telegram code? What does it mean:

• b'l\xfe\xff\xff' (little endian) 4294966892 or 0xfffffe6c
• b'l\xfe\xff\xff' (big endian) 1828651007 or 0x6cfeffff

Is there any documentation?

Can't find any links in readme

Infinite loop in TcpClient.read after about 1 hour of running

After about one hour after start of TelegramClient its updates_thread falls in infinite loop,
TcpClient module, lines 58-70.
self.socket.recv(left_count) each time returns 0 bytes,
buffer_size = 4
left_count = 4
partial = b''

Thread utilizing full cpu core and doesn't process any next updates.
Bug is reproducing each time, without exceptions.

Simple python script which reproduced bug (in sessionid.session stored valid session):

from telethon import TelegramClient
from time import sleep


def update_handler(update_object):
    print(update_object)

tg = TelegramClient('sessionid', api_id=00000, api_hash='********************************')
tg.connect()
tg.add_update_handler(update_handler)

while True:
    sleep(0.1)

Tested on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, Python 3.5.2, Telethon 0.7.0.1, pyaes 1.6.0

[Q] How to add user to supergroup with userid

Hello,

I want to add user(s) to existing supergroup that I created(have admin privileges).
How can I add user with resolved userid into supergroup?

First I tried AddChatUserRequest but failed. According to #38, supergroup was treated as channel. So I did not try AddChatUserRequest API, will be 400 CHAT_ID_INVALID.

Next I tried InviteToChannelRequest but does not work for supergroup.
(Case1) add user to supergroup by InviteToChannelRequest API(fail, server returns 400 PEER_FLOOD)
(Case2) add user to channel by InviteToChannelRequest API(Succeeded)

Is it right way to use InviteToChannelRequest to add user to supergroup? Or any invalid parameter?
Added code to client "telegram_client.py":

`
def add_user(self,
user_id, # by SearchRequest, int ex. 230000000
user_access_hash, # by SearchRequest, long ex. 2000000000000000000
entity): # by get_dialogs

if type(entity) is Chat:
    print("chat. try AddChatUserRequest")
    return
print(entity)
print()

chat_id = entity.id  # ex. id=1113800000
inuser = InputUser(user_id, user_access_hash)
chan = InputChannel(chat_id, entity.access_hash)

if hasattr(entity, "megagroup") and entity.megagroup: # debug code
    # (Case1) not work(400 PEER_FLOOD)
    print("Here is supposed to be supergroup!")
try:
    print("InviteToChannelRequest:")
    result = self.invoke(InviteToChannelRequest(chan, [inuser]))
    print(result)
except RPCError as err:
    print("telethon.errors.RPCError Detected: {0}".format(err))

`

Hello agian,
i tried to get_dialogs(200) but it limit on 99 and not show more, how i can get more?

New method for saving Session

Pickle is good for starting but not for long run, JSON is better for human readability, config file is good for centralized configuration and readability, sqlite db is good for future when storing more data is necessary, each has its pros and cons and best method for this project needs to be discussed.

[Q] How to forward a message?

Hello, I wanna forward a message from a channel to a group. I found ForwardMessageRequest class. My question is:
How pass id parameter to this class? I mean how can i get id of a message in group?

I tested this:

for msg in messages:
    try:
        msg.message
        msg_id = utils.generate_random_long()
        client.invoke(ForwardMessageRequest(peer=get_input_peer(Entity), id=msg.id, random_id=msg_id))
    except:
        pass

But when i run script it says:
Could not stabilise initial connection: (RPCError(...), 'Unknown error message with code 400: MESSAGE_ID_INVALID')

Raise 'RPC results should only happen after a request was sent'

I sometimes get this raise 'RPC results should only happen after a request was sent' called from updates_thread_method in mtproto_sender.py

This raise when I call send_message couple or more times (say from a list) without a delay. What do you suggest.

No module named 'telethon.tl.all_tlobjects'

I see you put 'all_tlobjects' in .gitignore but other file ares depending on it.

RPCError(...), 'The api_id/api_hash combination is invalid.'

When I run python3 try_telethon.py it all the time says

RPCError(...), 'The api_id/api_hash combination is invalid.'

OS: MacOS, Ubuntu 12.04.

It even does not want to connect. The error occurs on the first self.connect call (Could not stabilise initial connection). What is worth, occasionally this call works. But all the time it fails on sending a code (SendCodeRequest). I use 2 different telegram accounts. The result is the same.

I do as it's written in the readme:

• Run the tl_generator.py
• Create and edit the settings
• python3 try_telethon.py

I get the same result in case of using an installed through the pip version.

Could you please tell, if I should do something else.

Update

When the connect call works, it returns the following

on message receive event

Hello, Is there any method for "on messege receive" event?
I need something like this:

def my_func(sender, msg):

[Q] How to delete a message

Using API is so hard, can you help me remove a message using client? I have chat id and message id but I don't know how to use it. Delete message seems only accept a 4 digit number but I don't know what extactly I should put there
https://core.telegram.org/method/messages.deleteMessages

I do this and I don't know what it does

In [117]: z = client.invoke(messages.delete_messages.DeleteMessagesRequest([2887]))

In [118]: z
Out[118]: messages.affectedMessages#84d19185 pts:int pts_count:int = messages.AffectedMessages

No messages recieved

In supergroups, large groups, private chats with inline bot results and sometimes even dialog with bots - I get only telethon.tl.types.updates_tg.UpdatesTg or telethon.tl.types.update_short.UpdateShort and no messages. I thought that I should do something with UpdatesTg, but all that is visiable outside is

__module__
__doc__
constructor_id
__init__
on_send
empty
on_response
__repr__
__str__

What should I do to get all reveived messages? Should I modify that autogenerated Updates_Tg.py file?

Message received acknowledge

I successfully try interactive_telegram_client, but I noted that client never send acknowledge for read status (double check sign).

How do I achieve that ?.

OverflowError: int too big to convert when GetFullChat

chat = client.invoke(GetFullChatRequest(chat_id=int(-1001087453541))) OverflowError: int too big to convert

Seems not okay

RPCError when uploading large a file: Part 0 of the file is missing from storage.

For some strange reason, a RPCError saying "Part 0 of the file is missing from storage." is raised when sending files larger than 10MB. If the file size is less, no error occurs.

However, all the parts are sent (part 0 included, tested with a print)

Can't decode packet (b'l\xfe\xff\xff')

I get Can't decode packet (b'l\xfe\xff\xff') after running:

client = TelegramClient(session_file, api_id=000, api_hash='XXX')
client.connect()

my code stops here. When I Ctrl+C here is the output:

This happens for one of my SIMs.

An app does not receive any updates after several hours of work

Unable to detect exceptions in Updates thread

Sometimes an exception in Updates thread is raised for unknown reason (happens accidentially)

For example:
Exception in thread Updates thread:
Traceback (most recent call last):

'Cannot receive a request from inside an RPC result from the updates thread.')
ValueError: Cannot receive a request from inside an RPC result from the updates thread.

There are many different exceptions potentially could be raised in mtproto_sender.py , so it probably would be great to have an easy way to detect this someway from main thread to allow reconnect.

Thanks.
