Test Servers

If you wish to test your application in a separate environment, Pyrogram is able to authorize your account into Telegram’s test servers without hassle. All you need to do is start a new session (e.g.: “my_account_test”) using test_mode=True:

from pyrogram import Client

with Client("my_account_test", test_mode=True) as app:
    print(app.get_me())

Note

If this is the first time you login into test servers, you will be asked to register your account first. Don’t worry about your contacts and chats, they will be kept untouched inside the production environment; accounts authorized on test servers reside in a different, parallel instance of a Telegram database.

Test Mode in Official Apps

You can also login yourself into test servers using official desktop apps, such as Webogram and TDesktop:

• Webogram: Login here: https://web.telegram.org/?test=1

• TDesktop: Hold Alt+Shift and right click on “Add account”, then choose “Test server”.

Test Numbers

Beside normal numbers, the test environment allows you to login with reserved test numbers. Valid phone numbers follow the pattern 99966XYYYY, where X is the DC number (1 to 3) and YYYY are random numbers. Users with such numbers always get XXXXX as the confirmation code (the DC number, repeated five times).

Important

Do not store any important or private information in such test users’ accounts; anyone can make use of the simplified authorization mechanism and login at any time.
