Projects using Telethon
This page lists some real-world examples showcasing what can be built with the library.
Some are more interesting or useful than others, but it should give you a bit of an idea of what can be built with the library and perhaps draw inspiration from them.
Please do not change the order of the list! You can add your project to the bottom (and obviously don't modify other people's projects, unless you are fixing a typo). If a maintainer of the Telethon project finds your contribution more outstanding than the rest, it will be moved up.
telethon_examples/ from the Telethon project.
The documentation is not the only place where you can find useful code snippets using the library. The main repository also has a folder with some cool examples (even a Tkinter GUI!) which you can download, edit and run to learn and play with them.
You can find useful short snippets for Telethon here.
