Scheduling Tasks#

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.

This page will show examples on how to integrate Pyrogram with apscheduler in both asynchronous and non-asynchronous contexts. For more detailed information, you can visit and learn from the library documentation.

Using apscheduler#

Install with pip3 install apscheduler
Documentation: https://apscheduler.readthedocs.io

Asynchronously#

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()

Non-Asynchronously#

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()
