TDLib

This repository contains the code of the Telegram Database library (TDLib).

Table of Content

About

TDLib is a cross-platform, fully functional Telegram client.

Features

TDLib has many advantages. Notably TDLib is:

  • Cross-platform: TDLib can be used on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, Windows Phone, WebAssembly, watchOS, tvOS, Tizen, Cygwin. It should also work on other *nix systems with or without minimal effort.
  • Multilanguage: TDLib can be easily used with any programming language that is able to execute C functions. Additionally it already has native bindings to Java (using JNI) and C# (using C++/CLI).
  • Easy to use: TDLib takes care of all network implementation details, encryption and local data storage.
  • High-performance: in the Telegram Bot API, each TDLib instance handles more than 18000 active bots simultaneously.
  • Well-documented: all TDLib API methods and public interfaces are fully documented.
  • Consistent: TDLib guarantees that all updates will be delivered in the right order.
  • Reliable: TDLib remains stable on slow and unstable Internet connections.
  • Secure: all local data is encrypted using a user-provided encryption key.
  • Fully-asynchronous: requests to TDLib don't block each other or anything else, responses will be sent when they are available.

License

Build

Dependencies

TDLib depends on:

  • C++14 compatible compiler (clang 3.4+, GCC 4.9+, MSVC 19.0+ (Visual Studio 2015+), Intel C++ Compiler 17+)
  • OpenSSL
  • zlib
  • gperf
  • CMake (3.0.2+)
  • php (optional, for docs generation)
  • doxygen (optional, for docs generation)

Build with CMake

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
cmake --build . --target install

Using TDLib in CMake C++ projects

For C++ projects that use CMake, the best approach is to build TDLib as part of your project.

There are several libraries that you could use in your CMake project:

  • Td::TdJson, Td::TdJsonStatic — dynamic and static version of a json interface. Has a simple C interface, so it can be easily used with any language that supports C bindings.
  • Td::TdStatic — static library with C++ interface.
  • Td::TdCoreStatic — static library with low-level C++ interface intended mostly for internal usage.

For example, part of your CMakeList.txt may look like this:

add_subdirectory(td)
target_link_library(YourLibrary Td::TdJson)

Or you could install TDLib and then reference it in your CMakeLists.txt like this:

find_package(Td 1.0.5)
target_link_library(YourLibrary Td::TdJson)

See example/cpp/CMakeLists.txt.

Using TDLib from other languages

TDLib provides efficient native C++, Java, and C# (will be released soon) interfaces. But for most use cases we suggest to use the JSON interface. It can be easily used with any language that supports C bindinds. See example/python/tdjson_example.py for an example of such usage.

Installing dependencies

OS X

  • Install the latest XCode command line tools.
  • Install other dependencies, for example, using Homebrew:
brew install gperf cmake openssl
  • After that you may need to manually specify path to the installed OpenSSL to CMake, e.g.,
cmake -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl/ ..

Windows

  • Download and install gperf. Add the path to gperf to the PATH variable.
  • Install vcpkg.
  • Run the following commands:
C:\src\vcpkg> .\vcpkg install openssl zlib
  • Build TDLib with cmake as explained above, but instead of cmake .. use cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:\src\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake ...

Linux

Install all dependencies using your package manager.
