Update Filters

Filters are objects that can be used to filter the content of incoming updates. Read more about how filters work.

Details

pyrogram.filters.create(func: Callable, name: Optional[str] = None, **kwargs) → pyrogram.filters.Filter

Easily create a custom filter.

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

Parameters

  • func (callable) – A function that accepts three positional arguments (filter, client, update) and returns a boolean: True if the update should be handled, False otherwise. The filter argument refers to the filter itself and can be used to access keyword arguments (read below). The client argument refers to the Client that received the update. The update argument type will vary depending on which Handler is coming from. For example, in a MessageHandler the update argument will be a Message; in a CallbackQueryHandler the update will be a CallbackQuery. Your function body can then access the incoming update attributes and decide whether to allow it or not.

  • name (str, optional) – Your filter’s name. Can be anything you like. Defaults to “CustomFilter”.

  • **kwargs (any, optional) – Any keyword argument you would like to pass. Useful when creating parameterized custom filters, such as command() or regex().

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.

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

  • 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.
