PTB offers different resources that help you understand and use the features of the library.
- The package documentation is the technical reference for
python-telegram-bot. It contains descriptions of all available classes, modules, methods and arguments. - This wiki is home to number of more elaborate introductions of
the different features of
python-telegram-botand other useful resources that go beyond the technical documentation. - Our examples directory contains several examples that showcase
the different features of both the Bot API and
python-telegram-bot. Even if it is not your approach for learning, please take a look atechobot.py. It is the de facto base for most of the bots out there. The code for these examples is released to the public domain, so you can start by grabbing the code and building on top of it. - The official Telegram Bot API documentation is of course always worth a read.
If you stumble upon a part of the wiki that is unclear or missing important points, please go ahead and drop us a message in our Telegram Group, or just edit the part yourself (anyone can contribute). We'd like our wiki to be as complete as possible 🙂
In the sidebar to the right, you can find all important pages of this wiki. They are roughly organized by the following logic:
Introductory articles and frequently referenced pages.
Introductions & explanations of how the components of telegram.ext work and interact with each other.
Elaborate explanation to more advanced features of telegram.ext.
Some other resources that are not exclusively PTB-specific.
An effort to make the examples even more accessible. You are very welcome to extend this section!
Articles about advanced networking questions.
More interesting & helpful stuff that can't be found in any of the above sections.
Major versions usually come with breaking changes, i.e. changes that lead to code failing after upgrading. Those guides help to ease the transition.
Interesting mostly for the maintainers. They, too, need a place to take notes 🙂
