Scheduling tasks means executing one or more functions periodically at pre-defined intervals or after a delay. This is useful, for example, to send recurring messages to specific chats or users.
Since there's no built-in task scheduler in Pyrogram, this page will only show examples on how to integrate Pyrogram
with the main Python schedule libraries such as schedule and apscheduler. For more detailed information, you can
visit and learn from each library documentation.
- Install with
pip3 install schedule - Documentation: https://schedule.readthedocs.io
import time
import schedule
from pyrogram import Client
app = Client("my_account")
def job():
app.send_message("me", "Hi!")
schedule.every(3).seconds.do(job)
with app:
while True:
schedule.run_pending()
time.sleep(1)- Install with
pip3 install apscheduler - Documentation: https://apscheduler.readthedocs.io
from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler
from pyrogram import Client
app = Client("my_account")
def job():
app.send_message("me", "Hi!")
scheduler = BackgroundScheduler()
scheduler.add_job(job, "interval", seconds=3)
scheduler.start()
app.run()apscheduler does also support async code, here's an example with
Pyrogram Asyncio:
from apscheduler.schedulers.asyncio import AsyncIOScheduler
from pyrogram import Client
app = Client("my_account")
async def job():
await app.send_message("me", "Hi!")
scheduler = AsyncIOScheduler()
scheduler.add_job(job, "interval", seconds=3)
scheduler.start()
app.run()
