Check the tutorial :)
Basic example:
from telegram.client import Telegram
tg = Telegram(
api_id='api_id',
api_hash='api_hash',
phone='+31611111111',
database_encryption_key='changekey123',
)
tg.login()
# if this is the first run, library needs to preload all chats
# otherwise the message will not be sent
result = tg.get_chats()
result.wait()
result = tg.send_message(
chat_id=args.chat_id,
text=args.text,
)
# `tdlib` is asynchronous, so `python-telegram` always returns you an `AsyncResult` object.
# You can receive a result with the `wait` method of this object.
result.wait()
print(result.update)More examples you can find in the /examples/ directory.
