I have this code
from telethon.sync import TelegramClient, events
with TelegramClient('name', api_id, api_hash) as client:
#client.on(events.NewMessage(pattern=pattern))
async def handler(event):
await event.reply("Here should be the Chat or Group name")
How to implement this?
if we are talking only about groups/channels
chat_from = event.chat if event.chat else (await event.get_chat()) # telegram MAY not send the chat enity
chat_title = chat_from.title
Else (If we want to get the full name of chat entities, including Users):
from telethon import utils
chat_from = event.chat if event.chat else (await event.get_chat()) # telegram MAY not send the chat enity
chat_title = utils.get_display_name(chat_from)
get_display_name() actually gets a name that you would see. Works for types User, Channel, Chat
That method shall not have await

I'd like to listen for a new incoming message in a Telegram channel.
I'm using the Telethon package and tried to run the example found in the docs.
from telethon import TelegramClient, events
api_id = "..."
api_hash = "..."
CHANNEL_ID = "..."
client = TelegramClient('anon', api_id, api_hash)
client.start()
#client.on(events.NewMessage(chats=CHANNEL_ID, outgoing=False))
async def my_event_handler(event):
print(event)
client.run_until_disconnected()
This code runs, asks me for my phone number and the login code. But after that, nothing happens.
When a message is sent to the channel, I don't see anything printed out.
Im trying to create a python script that can read all messages in a chat channel. I found this code, however, this will only read the message that I write myself or are directed at me. How do I change this code so it can read all the messages in the channel?
from telethon import TelegramClient, events
api_id = 242...
api_hash = '8a06ca620417c9964a058e0dc...'
bot_token = '1474729480:AAEhUPmVX_m...'
channelId = -36744...
client = TelegramClient('bot', api_id, api_hash).start(bot_token=bot_token)
client.start()
#client.on(events.NewMessage(chats = [channelId]))
async def my_event_handler(event):
text = event.text
print(text)
client.run_until_disconnected()
You may use iter_messages to get previous messages
I can't make a script for a long time. I have one telegram channel, I don't want to resend an album from this channel, but just send it to me in one message
from telethon import TelegramClient, events
from telethon import events
api_id =
api_hash = ""
chat = ''
client = TelegramClient('', api_id, api_hash)
print('started')
#client.on(events.Album)
async def handler(event):
#what farther
Here is one approach to do that:
from telethon import TelegramClient, events
api_id = ...
api_hash = ' ... '
chat = -1001277xxxxxx
client = TelegramClient('session', api_id, api_hash)
#client.on(events.Album)
async def handler(event):
# craft a new message and send
await client.send_message(
chat,
file=event.messages, # event.messages is a List - meaning we're sending an album
message=event.original_update.message.message, # get the caption message from the album
)
## or forward it directly
# await event.forward_to(chat)
client.start()
client.run_until_disconnected()
There is send_file which says
file (...): To send an album, you should provide a list in this parameter.
If a list or similar is provided, the files in it will be sent as an album in the order in which they appear, sliced in chunks of 10 if more than 10 are given.
caption (str, optional):
Optional caption for the sent media message. When sending an album, the caption may be a list of strings, which will be assigned to the files pairwise.
So extending #Tibebes answer
await client.send_file( # Note this is send_file not send_message
chat,
file=event.messages
caption=list(map(lambda a: str(a.message), event.messages))
)
Hi can't figure out how to solve this problem, so any help will be really appreciated.
I'm subscribed to a private channel. This channel has no username and I don't have the invite link (the admin just added me).
Since I use this channel at work, to speed up the things I want to process the messages posted on the channel using Telethon.
The core of the program is:
#events.register(events.NewMessage(chats = my_private_channel))
async def handler(event):
#do things
The problem is that I am not able to filter the messages coming to that specific channel id. I get the error:
ValueError: Cannot find any entity corresponding to "0123456789"
I have tried different technique to obtain my channel Id but the error is always the same. In particular:
The channel is private so it has no username ("#blablabla")
I have no invite link
I have tried to process all incoming messages until the admin sent a message on the channel, print sender information and get the value from the "ID" key
I have tried to use telegram web and get the ID from the url (also adding -100 in front of it)
But when I put the ID in the parameter chats, I get always the error reported above.
Thanks in advance,
Have a nice day
if you have access to the channel, then it's shown in your chat list.
You have to loop through your chats checking their titles and then store the desired chat in a variable:
my_private_channel_id = None
my_private_channel = None
async for dialog in tg.client.iter_dialogs():
if dialog.name == "private chat name":
my_private_channel = dialog
my_private_channel_id = dialog.id
break
if my_private_channel is None:
print("chat not found")
else:
print("chat id is", my_private_channel_id)
Than you can filter messages sent to my_private_channel.
You can print all the dialogs/conversations that you are part of.
also you need to remove -100 prefix from the id you got like: -1001419092328 = 1419092328 (actual ID)
from telethon import TelegramClient, events
client = TelegramClient("bot", API_ID, API_HASH)
client.start()
print("🎉 Connected")
#client.on(events.NewMessage())
async def my_event_handler(event):
async for dialog in client.iter_dialogs():
print(dialog.name, 'has ID', dialog.id) # test ID -1001419092328
client.run_until_disconnected()
if you want to listen to a specific channel, you can use channel_id=1419092328. you will only receive messages that are broadcasted to it:
from telethon import TelegramClient, events
from telethon.tl.types import PeerChannel
print(f"👉 Connecting...")
client = TelegramClient("bot", API_ID, API_HASH)
client.start()
print("🎉 Connected")
#client.on(events.NewMessage(PeerChannel(channel_id=1419092328)))
async def my_event_handler(event):
msg = event.text
print(f"[M] {msg}")
client.run_until_disconnected()
You can't join a private channel without the invite link, nor can you get any information about it. It's private, as the name implies.
Hi I am working telegram api telethon. Here I wanted to continuously listen the group messages in python code.
I am able to read the messages from group but every time i need to run the code. is there any way to implement it that my code should listen the message synchronically.
below is the code snippets which gives me the messages in group. need to add listener code in it.
client = TelegramClient('session_read', api_id, api_hash)
client.start()
dialog_count = 50
dialogs = client.get_dialogs(dialog_count)
for i, entity in enumerate(dialogs):
if entity.name == 'GroupName':
print('{}'.format(entity.message.message))
Telethon has event handlers as documented here. For a basic new message handler, the first example should do:
from telethon import TelegramClient, events
client = TelegramClient('session_read', api_id, api_hash)
#client.on(events.NewMessage)
async def my_event_handler(event):
print('{}'.format(event))
client.start()
client.run_until_disconnected()
If you want to check that it's in a specific group, you can use the chats parameter on events.NewMessage:
#client.on(events.NewMessage(chats=("GroupName", "Group2")))
async def my_event_handler(event):
print(event)
There are a lot of other filtering options too, so I recommend checking out the documentation linked earlier.
