To send a message using the Telegram API and your own account:

  1. Create a Telegram Bot and obtain an API token.
  2. Install the python-telegram-bot library.
  3. Initialize your bot with the API token.
  4. Use the send_message method to send a message, providing the recipient's chat ID and the message content.

By following these steps, you can send messages using the Telegram API and your own account.

Telegram has a careful and archived public API

Following a few connections from that point, here is the synopsis of the important parts:

  • the API is not restricted to bots, they are just a (special) kind of users;
  • the API has methods called getMessages and sendMessage, that should be what you need;
  • to call the API, Telegram recommends to use the dedicated library TDLib available for multiple programming languages.
  • There are several examples available on GitHub

Among the models, in the event that you go the Python part, they suggest: 

If you use modern Python >= 3.6, take a look at python-telegram.

You'll discover directions to utilize the library, and in the model's organizer, you can discover content to communicate something specific. 

I'll duplicate it here for fulfillment:

import logging

import argparse

from utils import setup_logging

from telegram.client import Telegram

"""

Sends a message to a chat

Usage:

    python examples/send_message.py api_id api_hash phone chat_id text

"""

if __name__ == '__main__':

    setup_logging(level=logging.INFO)

    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()

    parser.add_argument('api_id', help='API id')  # https://my.telegram.org/apps

    parser.add_argument('api_hash', help='API hash')

    parser.add_argument('phone', help='Phone')

    parser.add_argument('chat_id', help='Chat id', type=int)

    parser.add_argument('text', help='Message text')

    args = parser.parse_args()

    tg = Telegram(

        api_id=args.api_id,

        api_hash=args.api_hash,

        phone=args.phone,

        database_encryption_key='changeme1234',

    )

    # you must call login method before others

    tg.login()

    # if this is the first run, library needs to preload all chats

    # otherwise the message will not be sent

    result = tg.get_chats()

    # `tdlib` is asynchronous, so `python-telegram` always returns you an `AsyncResult` object.

    # You can wait for a result with the blocking `wait` method.

    result.wait()

    if result.error:

        print(f'get chats error: {result.error_info}')

    else:

        print(f'chats: {result.update}')

    result = tg.send_message(

        chat_id=args.chat_id,

        text=args.text,

    )

    result.wait()

    if result.error:

        print(f'send message error: {result.error_info}')

    else:

        print(f'message has been sent: {result.update}')

To send a message to someone using the Telegram API with your own account, you can follow these steps:

  • First, you need to create a Telegram Bot by talking to the BotFather on Telegram. You can search for "BotFather" in the Telegram app and follow the instructions to create a new bot and obtain an API token.
  • Install the python-telegram-bot library by running the following command in your terminal:

pip install python-telegram-bot

  • Import the necessary modules and initialize your bot with the API token:

from telegram import Bot

# Replace 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' with your actual API token

bot = Bot(token='YOUR_API_TOKEN')

  • Use the send_message method of the bot object to send a message to the desired recipient:

# Replace 'RECIPIENT_CHAT_ID' with the chat ID of the person you want to send the message to

bot.send_message(chat_id='RECIPIENT_CHAT_ID', text='Your message goes here')

Note that the RECIPIENT_CHAT_ID is the unique identifier of the person or group you want to message. You can obtain the chat ID by using methods like get_updates or through third-party bots like "IDBot".

With these steps, you should be able to send messages to someone using the Telegram API and your own account. Make sure to replace 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' with your actual API token and 'RECIPIENT_CHAT_ID' with the appropriate recipient chat ID.
