Telethon's Documentation
========================
.. code-block:: python
from telethon.sync import TelegramClient, events
with TelegramClient('name', api_id, api_hash) as client:
client.send_message('me', 'Hello, myself!')
print(client.download_profile_photo('me'))

client.run_until_disconnected()
* Are you new here? Jump straight into :ref:`installation`!
* Looking for the method reference? See :ref:`client-ref`.
* Did you upgrade the library? Please read :ref:`changelog`.
* Used Telethon before v1.0? See :ref:`compatibility-and-convenience`.

* Need the full API reference? https://tl.telethon.dev/.
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.
