Project Setup
We have just installed Gogram, in this page ww will discuss what you need to do in order to setup a new project with this framework.
Api-Key (App ID and App Hash)
The first step requires you to obtain a Telegram API key.
In order to do so, follow Telegram’s instructions at https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id (opens in a new tab) and make sure you understand and abide to the rules for third-party clients and libraries explained there.
The API key consists of two parts: the App ID and the App Hash. You will need to provide these two values to Gogram in order to authenticate your client.
Auto-Configuration
Auto-obtaining the API key is supported by Gogram. You can use the following code to automatically obtain the API key:
package main
import (
"github.com/amarnathcjd/gogram/telegram"
)
func main() {
webcodecallback := func() (string, error) {
fmt.Println("Please enter the web code:")
var code string
fmt.Scanln(&code)
return code, nil
}
client, _ := telegram.NewClient(telegram.ClientConfig{}) // create an empty client
appId, appHash, success, err := client.ScrapeAppConfig(&telegram.ScrapeConfig{
PhoneNum: "your_phone_number",
WebCodeCallback: webcodecallback,
})
if !success {
fmt.Println("Failed to scrape app config:", err)
return
}
client.SetAppID(appId)
client.SetAppHash(appHash)
client.Start()
}Manual Configuration
If you prefer to manually configure the API key, you can use the following code:
package main
import (
"github.com/amarnathcjd/gogram/telegram"
)
func main() {
client, _ := telegram.NewClient(telegram.ClientConfig{ // Create a new client
AppID: 6,
AppHash: "app_hash",
})
client.Start()
}
