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.
How should I use the documentation?¶
If you are getting started with the library, you should follow the documentation in order by pressing the “Next” button at the bottom-right of every page.
You can also use the menu on the left to quickly skip over sections.
