Test Servers¶
To run Telethon on a test server, use the following code:
client = TelegramClient(None, api_id, api_hash)
client.session.set_dc(dc_id, '149.154.167.40', 80)
You can check your 'test ip'
on https://my.telegram.org.
You should set None
session so to ensure you’re generating a new
authorization key for it (it would fail if you used a session where you
had previously connected to another data center).
Note that port 443 might not work, so you can try with 80 instead.
Once you’re connected, you’ll likely be asked to either sign in or sign up. Remember anyone can access the phone you choose, so don’t store sensitive data here.
Valid phone numbers are 99966XYYYY
, where X
is the dc_id
and
YYYY
is any number you want, for example, 1234
in dc_id = 2
would
be 9996621234
. The code sent by Telegram will be dc_id
repeated five
times, in this case, 22222
so we can hardcode that:
client = TelegramClient(None, api_id, api_hash)
client.session.set_dc(2, '149.154.167.40', 80)
client.start(
phone='9996621234', code_callback=lambda: '22222'
)
