Update Filters

class pyrogram.Filters

This class provides access to all library-defined Filters available in Pyrogram.

The Filters listed here are intended to be used with the MessageHandler only. At the moment, if you want to filter updates coming from different Handlers you have to create your own filters with create() and use them in the same way.

create(func: callable, **kwargs) → type

Create a Filter.

Custom filters give you extra control over which updates are allowed or not to be processed by your handlers.

Parameters

• name (str) – Your filter’s name. Can be anything you like.

• func (callable) – A function that accepts two arguments (filter, update) and returns a Boolean: True if the update should be handled, False otherwise. The “update” argument type will vary depending on which Handler is coming from. For example, in a MessageHandler the update type will be a Message; in a CallbackQueryHandler the update type will be a CallbackQuery. Your function body can then access the incoming update and decide whether to allow it or not.

• **kwargs (any, optional) – Any keyword argument you would like to pass. Useful for custom filters that accept parameters (e.g.: command(), regex()).

static command(commands: str, prefix: str = '/', separator: str = ' ', case_sensitive: bool = False)

Filter commands, i.e.: text messages starting with “/” or any other custom prefix.

Parameters

• commands (str | list) – The command or list of commands as string the filter should look for. Examples: “start”, [“start”, “help”, “settings”]. When a message text containing a command arrives, the command itself and its arguments will be stored in the command field of the Message.

• prefix (str | list, optional) – A prefix or a list of prefixes as string the filter should look for. Defaults to “/” (slash). Examples: “.”, “!”, [“/”, “!”, “.”]. Can be None or “” (empty string) to allow commands with no prefix at all.

• separator (str, optional) – The command arguments separator. Defaults to ” ” (white space). Examples: /start first second, /start-first-second, /start.first.second.

• case_sensitive (bool, optional) – Pass True if you want your command(s) to be case sensitive. Defaults to False. Examples: when True, command=”Start” would trigger /Start but not /start.

static regex(pattern, flags: int = 0)

Filter messages that match a given RegEx pattern.

Parameters

• pattern (str) – The RegEx pattern as string, it will be applied to the text of a message. When a pattern matches, all the Match Objects are stored in the matches field of the Message itself.
