Using TLSharp

###Initializing client

var store = new FileSessionStore();

Next, create client instance and connect to Telegram server. You need your API_ID and API_HASH for this step.

var client = new TelegramClient(store, "session", API_ID, "API_HASH");
await client.Connect();

Now, you can call methods.

All methods except IsPhoneRegistered requires to authenticated user. Example usage of all methods you can find in [Tests].

###Supported methods Currently supported methods:

• IsPhoneRegistered - Check if phone is registered in Telegram
• Authenticate user
• SignUp user

Example:

var result = await client.IsPhoneRegistered(phoneNumber)

• phoneNumber - string, phone number in international format (eg. 791812312323)

• phoneNumber - string, phone number in international format (eg. 791812312323)

FAQ

TLSharp library should automatically handle this errors. If you see such errors, pls create a new issue.

I get an exception: System.IO.EndOfStreamException: Unable to read beyond the end of the stream. All test methos except that AuthenticationWorks and TestConnection return same error. I did every thing including setting api id and hash, and setting server address.

You should create a Telegram session. See configuration guide

Why I get FLOOD_WAIT error?

It's Telegram restrictions. See this
