Use when a Telegram job needs a user account, not a bot token: history a bot cannot see, acting as a person, bulk export over MTProto, and the ban risk. Not for bots (telegram-bots) or Mini Apps (telegram-miniapps). Opt out: no telegram, без телеграма. Triggers - "telethon", "userbot", "юзербот".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Telegram userbots — MTProto, and what it costs

A bot token is issued to software. **An MTProto session is a logged-in human
being** — the same authority the person has, held in a file, with none of the
protections a token has. Everything in this skill follows from that one
difference.

*Read against Telethon **1.44.0** and `core.telegram.org` on 2026-08-25. Telethon
minor releases change session and entity-cache behaviour; the version you are on
is a fact to check, not to assume.*

Deep material, loaded on demand:

| Read | When |
|---|---|
| [`references/sessions-and-auth.md`](references/sessions-and-auth.md) | logging in, storing a session, rotating one, or moving between machines |
| [`references/rate-and-flood.md`](references/rate-and-flood.md) | anything that loops over chats, users or messages — FloodWait, pacing, takeout |
| [`references/entities-and-history.md`](references/entities-and-history.md) | resolving peers, iterating history, downloading media at scale |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ssheleg/telegram-dev/telegram-userbots@sha256:c08e0487fd98d1b8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.d064a93, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
