**Pyrogram** is an elegant, easy-to-use [Telegram](https://telegram.org/) client library and framework written from the

ground up in Python and C. It enables you to easily create custom apps for both user and bot identities (bot API alternative) via the [MTProto API](https://core.telegram.org/api#telegram-api).

- **Easy**: You can install Pyrogram with pip and start building your applications right away.

- **Elegant**: Low-level details are abstracted and re-presented in a much nicer and easier way.

- **Fast**: Crypto parts are boosted up by [TgCrypto](https://github.com/pyrogram/tgcrypto), a high-performance library

written in pure C.

- **Documented**: Pyrogram API methods, types and public interfaces are well documented.

- **Type-hinted**: Exposed Pyrogram types and method parameters are all type-hinted.

- **Updated**, to the latest Telegram API version, currently Layer 97 on top of

[MTProto 2.0](https://core.telegram.org/mtproto).

- **Pluggable**: The Smart Plugin system allows to write components with minimal boilerplate code.

- **Comprehensive**: Execute any advanced action an official client is able to do, and even more.

- Python 3.4 or higher.

- A [Telegram API key](https://docs.pyrogram.ml/intro/setup#api-keys).

``` bash

pip3 install pyrogram
