Basic Usage
import asyncio
from pyrogram import Client
from tgcaller import TgCaller
# Initialize
app = Client("my_session", api_id=API_ID, api_hash=API_HASH)
caller = TgCaller(app)
@caller.on_stream_end
async def on_stream_end(client, update):
print(f"Stream ended in {update.chat_id}")
async def main():
await caller.start()
# Join voice call
await caller.join_call(-1001234567890)
# Play audio
await caller.play(-1001234567890, "song.mp3")
# Play video
await caller.play(-1001234567890, "video.mp4")
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
Audio Features
from tgcaller import AudioConfig
# High-quality audio
audio_config = AudioConfig(
bitrate=128000, # 128 kbps
sample_rate=48000, # 48 kHz
channels=2, # Stereo
noise_suppression=True, # Clean audio
echo_cancellation=True # No echo
)
await caller.play(chat_id, "audio.mp3", audio_config=audio_config)
Video Features
from tgcaller import VideoConfig
# HD video streaming
video_config = VideoConfig(
width=1920,
height=1080,
fps=30,
bitrate=2000000, # 2 Mbps
codec="h264"
)
await caller.play(chat_id, "video.mp4", video_config=video_config)
Advanced Features
** Bridged Calls**
Connect multiple chats for conference calls:
from tgcaller.advanced import BridgedCallManager
bridge_manager = BridgedCallManager(caller)
await bridge_manager.create_bridge("conference", [chat1, chat2, chat3])
** Microphone Streaming**
Stream live microphone input:
from tgcaller.advanced import MicrophoneStreamer
mic_streamer = MicrophoneStreamer(caller, chat_id)
await mic_streamer.start_streaming()
** Screen Sharing**
Share your screen in video calls:
from tgcaller.advanced import ScreenShareStreamer
screen_streamer = ScreenShareStreamer(caller, chat_id)
await screen_streamer.start_streaming(monitor_index=1)
** YouTube Integration**
Stream YouTube videos directly:
from tgcaller.advanced import YouTubeStreamer
youtube = YouTubeStreamer(caller)
await youtube.play_youtube_url(chat_id, "https://youtube.com/watch?v=...")
** Speech Transcription**
Real-time speech-to-text with Whisper:
from tgcaller.advanced import WhisperTranscription
transcriber = WhisperTranscription("base")
await transcriber.start_transcription()
** Audio/Video Filters**
Apply real-time effects:
from tgcaller.advanced import AudioFilters, VideoFilters
audio_filters = AudioFilters()
video_filters = VideoFilters()
# Add echo effect
filtered_audio = audio_filters.apply_echo(audio_data, delay=0.3)
# Add blur effect
filtered_video = video_filters.apply_blur(video_frame, kernel_size=15)
** Custom API**
Extend with REST API:
from tgcaller.advanced import CustomAPIHandler
api = CustomAPIHandler(caller, port=8080)
await api.start_server()
# Now you can control via HTTP:
# POST /play {"chat_id": -1001234567890, "source": "song.mp3"}

Examples
Music Bot
from tgcaller import TgCaller
from pyrogram import Client, filters
app = Client("music_bot")
caller = TgCaller(app)
@app.on_message(filters.command("play"))
async def play_music(client, message):
if len(message.command) < 2:
return await message.reply("Usage: /play <song_name>")
song = message.command[1]
# Join call if not already joined
if not caller.is_connected(message.chat.id):
await caller.join_call(message.chat.id)
# Play song
await caller.play(message.chat.id, f"music/{song}.mp3")
await message.reply(f" Playing: {song}")
@caller.on_stream_end
async def next_song(client, update):
# Auto-play next song logic here
pass
app.run()
Advanced Conference Bot
from tgcaller.advanced import BridgedCallManager, WhisperTranscription
