init-data-py

A Python library that provides tools for using and validating Telegram web app init data.

Installation

You can install the library using pip:

pip install init-data-py

Usage

Parsing

To parse the window.Telegram.WebApp.initData query string into an InitData object for easier access to attributes and validation, you can use the InitData.parse method:

from init_data_py import InitData

init_data = InitData.parse(query_string)

Validation

To validate the init data, you can use the InitData.validate method:

is_valid = init_data.validate(bot_token)

Signing

If you need to create and sign your own init data, you can create an InitData object and sign it:

from init_data_py import InitData
from init_data_py.types import User

user = User(id=5167898484, first_name="xin")
init_data = InitData(user=user).sign(bot_token)

Converting InitData to Query String

After creating and signing init data, you can convert it to a query sting using the InitData.to_query_string method:

query_string = init_date.to_query_string()

Real-World Validation Example

This example demonstrates how to validate a Telegram Mini App init data. It parses the init data query string into an InitData object and validate it using the provided bot token, checking that the data is valid and has not expired:

from init_data_py import InitData

bot_token = "7244657541:AAEgqk0HDC3WD5cdbnGMdd6L0TJ74FDp97Y"
query_string = "query_id=AAF03wc0AgAAAHTfBzROOCVW&user=%7B%22id%22%3A5167898484%2C%22first_name%22%3A%22xin%22%2C%22last_name%22%3A%22%22%2C%22username%22%3A%22pvnimaxin%22%2C%22language_code%22%3A%22en%22%2C%22allows_write_to_pm%22%3Atrue%7D&auth_date=1722938610&hash=8654c8c617c143abf656f4f159be2539880a56f58c2d9be622f90c0346aa162b"

init_data = InitData.parse(query_string)

is_valid = init_data.validate(
    bot_token=bot_token,
    lifetime=3600,
)
