tgwidget

Python SDK for TeleWidget — beautiful Telegram Mini App widgets for bots.

Install

pip install tgwidget

Usage

Generate widget URL

from tgwidget import TgWidget

# Date picker
url = TgWidget("your_bot").date(mode="datetime", format="unix-s").url()

# Color picker
url = TgWidget("your_bot").color(format="hex").url()

# Schedule (range — time windows per day)
url = TgWidget("your_bot").schedule().url()

# Schedule (single — fixed time per day)
url = TgWidget("your_bot").schedule(format="single").url()

# With styling
url = (
    TgWidget("your_bot")
    .date(mode="date")
    .style(color_scheme="dark", accent="#FF6600", adopt_tg_palette=True)
    .url()
)

Parse results

When a user completes the widget, the result comes back via deep link t.me/your_bot?start=VALUE. Parse the value:

from tgwidget import parse_date, parse_color, parse_schedule

# Date result — returns native datetime.date object
result = parse_date("2025-03-15", mode="date")
# result.date == '2025-03-15'
# result.date_obj == datetime.date(2025, 3, 15)

# Datetime — returns native datetime object
result = parse_date("2025-03-15_14-30", mode="datetime")
# result.datetime_obj == datetime.datetime(2025, 3, 15, 14, 30)
# result.date_obj == datetime.date(2025, 3, 15)
# result.time_obj == datetime.time(14, 30)

# Time — returns native datetime.time
result = parse_date("14-30", mode="time")
# result.time_obj == datetime.time(14, 30)

# Date range with unix timestamps
result = parse_date("1710460800_1718236800", mode="date-range", format="unix-s")
# result.datetime_obj, result.datetime_end_obj — native datetime objects

# Color result
result = parse_color("FF6600", format="hex")
# ColorResult(raw='FF6600', hex='#FF6600')

# Schedule result — range (56-char range format)
result = parse_schedule("09001800090018000000000009001800090018000000000000000000")
# [ScheduleDay(enabled=True, start='09:00', end='18:00',
#              start_time=datetime.time(9, 0), end_time=datetime.time(18, 0)), ...]

# Schedule result — single (28-char single format)
result = parse_schedule("1200120099991200120099999999", format="single")
# [ScheduleDay(enabled=True, time_str='12:00', time_obj=datetime.time(12, 0)), ...]

All parsers automatically handle Telegram bot command prefixes — you can pass raw /start payload strings directly:

result = parse_date("/start 2025-03-15", mode="date")
# result.date_obj == datetime.date(2025, 3, 15)

result = parse_color("/start FF6600", format="hex")
# result.hex == '#FF6600'

Date options

The .date() method accepts extra keyword arguments for controlling initial state and validation:

# Duration picker: no auto-select, starts at 00:00:00
url = TgWidget("your_bot").date(mode="time-seconds", auto_now=False).url()

# Duration with custom default
url = TgWidget("your_bot").date(mode="time-seconds", auto_now=False, default="01-30-00").url()

# Time picker with allowed range
url = TgWidget("your_bot").date(mode="time", min="09-00", max="18-00").url()

# Range validation in parser
widget = TgWidget("your_bot").date(mode="time-seconds", min="00-00-00", max="23-59-59")
widget.parse("25-00-00")  # raises ValueError

Option	Type	Description
auto_now	bool	Auto-select current time on open. Default: True for time/datetime, not set otherwise.
default	str	Default value in widget format (e.g. "01-30-00"). Used when auto_now is False.
min	str	Minimum allowed value. Validated both in frontend and by SDK parser.
max	str	Maximum allowed value. Validated both in frontend and by SDK parser.

Pattern (informational format string)

Each widget exposes a .pattern property — a human-readable format hint you can show to users:

widget = TgWidget("your_bot").date(mode="datetime")
widget.pattern  # "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM"

widget2 = TgWidget("your_bot").date(mode="date", order="dmy")
widget2.pattern  # "DD-MM-YYYY"

widget3 = TgWidget("your_bot").color(format="hex")
widget3.pattern  # "#RRGGBB"

# Use in bot messages:
await ctx.reply(f"Введите дату в формате {widget.pattern}")

You can also use the standalone get_pattern(widget, mode, format, order) function directly.

Widget-level parsing with parse()

If you keep a reference to the widget builder, you can call .parse() directly — it automatically uses the configured widget type and options:

widget = TgWidget("your_bot").date(mode="datetime")
url = widget.url()

# Later, when the user completes the widget:
result = widget.parse("/start 2025-03-15_14-30")
# result.datetime_obj == datetime.datetime(2025, 3, 15, 14, 30)

API

TgWidget(bot_username)

Create a widget builder.

• .date(mode, format, order, *, auto_now, default, min, max) — Date/time picker
• .color(format) — Color picker
• .schedule(format) — Weekly schedule (format: 'range' | 'single')
• .style(color_scheme, accent, tint, liquid_glass, adapt_tg_theme, adopt_tg_palette) — Styling
• .url(base_url) — Generate the final URL
• .payload() — Get the raw payload dict
• .pattern — Human-readable format string (e.g. "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM")
• .parse(value) — Parse a widget result string (auto-detects parser from widget type)

Parsers

• parse_date(value, mode, format, order, *, min, max) → DateResult (raises ValueError if outside min/max)
• parse_color(value, format) → ColorResult
• parse_schedule(value, format) → list[ScheduleDay]

Result types

DateResult

• date, time, date_end, time_end — string representations
• timestamp, timestamp_end — raw integer timestamps (unix modes)
• datetime_obj, datetime_end_obj — native datetime.datetime
• date_obj, date_end_obj — native datetime.date
• time_obj, time_end_obj — native datetime.time

ColorResult

• raw — original value string
• hex — e.g. '#FF6600'
• rgb — e.g. (255, 102, 0)
• hsl — e.g. (24, 100, 50)

ScheduleDay

• enabled — whether the day is active
• start, end — time strings e.g. '09:00' (range format)
• start_time, end_time — native datetime.time (range format)
• time_str — single time string e.g. '12:00' (single format)
• time_obj — native datetime.time (single format)
