# TDLib usage and build examples
This directory contains basic examples of TDLib usage from different programming languages and examples of library building for different platforms.
2023-10-08 16:59:20 +02:00
If you are looking for documentation of all available TDLib methods, see the [td_api.tl](https://github.com/tdlight-team/tdlight/blob/master/td/generate/scheme/td_api.tl) scheme or the
automatically generated [HTML documentation](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/td__api_8h.html) for a list of all available TDLib
[methods](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/classtd_1_1td__api_1_1_function.html) and [classes](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/classtd_1_1td__api_1_1_object.html).
2023-01-02 13:38:04 +01:00
Also, take a look at our [Getting Started](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/getting-started) tutorial for a description of basic TDLib concepts.
TDLib can be easily used from almost any programming language on any platform. See a [TDLib build instructions generator](https://tdlib.github.io/td/build.html) for detailed instructions on how to build TDLib.

## Using TDLib in Python projects
TDLib can be used from Python through the [JSON](https://github.com/tdlib/td#using-json) interface.
Convenient Python wrappers already exist for our JSON interface.
2021-07-26 20:26:04 +02:00
If you use Python >= 3.6, take a look at [python-telegram](https://github.com/alexander-akhmetov/python-telegram).
The wrapper uses the full power of asyncio, has a good documentation and has several examples. It can be installed through pip or used in a Docker container.
2022-07-05 21:10:37 +02:00
You can also try a fork [python-telegram](https://github.com/iTeam-co/pytglib) of this library.
2022-07-05 21:10:37 +02:00
If you want to use TDLib with asyncio and Python >= 3.9, take a look at [aiotdlib](https://github.com/pylakey/aiotdlib) or [Pytdbot](https://github.com/pytdbot/client).
2021-07-26 20:26:04 +02:00
2020-11-18 15:38:19 +01:00
For older Python versions you can use [pytdlib](https://github.com/pytdlib/pytdlib).
This wrapper contains generator for TDLib API classes and basic interface for interaction with TDLib.
2023-10-08 16:59:20 +02:00

You can use this method to use TDLib, for example, from Brainfuck (unfortunately, we haven't seen examples of sending a Telegram message through TDLib on Brainfuck yet).
Alternatively, you can use the TDLib [JSON](https://github.com/tdlib/td#using-json) interface directly from your programming language.
Feel free to create an issue, if you have created a valuable TDLib binding or a TDLib client in some programming language and want it to be added to this list of examples.
