How to get access token of telegram's telegraph account?

I would like to create and edit pages on Telegram's telegraph.ph website through telegraph API.

To do so, I need to know the access token of the telegraph account. I've been searching high and low using Google how to do it but still can't find any answer.

I am using telegraph python library.

I am using python 3.7

Solution

The API endpoint you're looking for is createAccount. Invoking this endpoint returns an object containing an accesstoken.

From the docs:

On success, returns an Account object with the regular fields and an additional access_token field.

Having said that, the library you've mentioned makes it much easier to work with the api. You don't even to know the access_token explicitly. You only need to call .create_account() and the library will manage the token internally (see here and here to know how).

Here is a sample code on how to use the lib to create an account and utilize it:


from telegraph import Telegraph

telegraph = Telegraph()

acc = telegraph.create_account(short_name='1337')

print(acc)

response = telegraph.create_page(
    'Hey',
    html_content='<p>Hello, world!</p>',

)
