Here are the best open source Python Telegram Bot libraries for your application. You can use these components to build an intelligent telegram bot that can automatically or on request send text, video, images, documents, and other information and perform different activities. 


Using a Python Telegram Bot Library, you can Broadcast, Teach, Collect Leads, Search, Reply, Remind, Play, Connect, etc. To help developers, these bots act as a BotFather. Also, you can implement the pair-to-pair security protocol and end-to-end encryption to ensure that each exchange of messages between the Bot and the user is secure. 


We have handpicked the top and trending Python Telegram Bot libraries for your next project below.  

python-telegram-bot:  

  • Used for building a bot in telegram easily by coupling with Python libraries like Flask, Requests, and Viz.  
  • Provides an asynchronous interface for the Telegram Bot API.  
  • The library features many high-level classes to make the development straightforward.

                      Telethon:  

                      • An asynchronous Python 3 MTProto library that helps interact with Telegram’s API as a user through a bot API alternative.  
                      • If we install cryptg, the library will work faster as the encryption and decryption will be done using C instead of Python.  
                      • If we install pillow, larger images will be automatically resized while sending photos to prevent telegram from failing with ‘Invalid Image’ messages.
