BaleClient

⚡ BaleClient is a maintained fork / rework of Aiobale, an asynchronous Python client for Bale Messenger.

The original library is great but contains several bugs and incomplete implementations. This project fixes those issues and adds improvements for reliability, stability, and usability.

Why BaleClient?

While using Aiobale in real projects, I encountered several issues such as:

• parsing bugs
• inconsistent API responses
• missing validations
• edge cases not handled

BaleClient fixes these problems and introduces improvements to make the library more stable for production usage.

---

Fixes

The following issues in the original library have been fixed:

• Fixed dialog response parsing
• Fixed message caption parsing
• Fixed history response validation errors
• Fixed incorrect type validations in response models
• Fixed document MIME type parsing when the API returns a dictionary instead of a string
• Fixed thumbnail parsing when the API returns 6-1 instead of 6
• Fixed thumbnail image parsing when the API returns a structured object instead of raw bytes or str
• Allowed GroupPeer.access_hash to be optional to support peers returned without an access hash

This list will continue to grow as more protocol inconsistencies are discovered and resolved.

---

Improvements

Additional enhancements and quality-of-life improvements:

• Improved error handling for corrupted or modified session files
• Improved robustness when parsing Bale API responses with inconsistent structures
• Added safer handling for missing or optional message fields
• Added normalization for inconsistent thumbnail payload structures
• Improved resilience against schema variations in document and media responses

---

Changelog

v0.1.0
