Error loading contacts? about pyrogram

[delivrance]

To troubleshoot this you can try using client.add_contacts(...) with a list of max 5 or 10 contacts and see what happens.

After 30 phone numbers downloaded in the account (in a cycle, 10 pieces each), the Telegram begins to return this:

Inquiry:

{
"_": "types.contacts.ImportedContacts",
"users": [],
"imported": [],
"retry_contacts": [

answer:

}

@windx13 Okay, maybe your phone numbers are wrong, make sure you add the country code as well. Example: for Italy is 39, you need to prepend it to each number.

@delivrance All numbers are indicated properly, in an international format. Some of them I checked manually - they are registered in Telegram. I understand that it's not in the library. I would like to know the cause of the error and how do I get what I want?

[delivrance]

@windx13 It is not a real error, you are not getting any exception raised. Pyrogram successfully calls the method with the given arguments, and the server replies correctly, but with something I've never seen before. I don't know exactly what that retry_contacts full of the client_ids means.

Does the method gives you the same result even with a single phone number?

You can also try to call .add_contacts twice using the same single phone number and see what happens.

@delivrance

Can this be somehow bypassed?

[delivrance]

Wow. I'm surprised this very obscure parameter was documented in their docs. I really couldn't think about looking there knowing how old they are.

@delivrance Previously, this was not. Phone numbers were successfully checked. And this month problems began. Is there anything you can do about this?

[delivrance]

@windx13 Well, no... As you can read is Telegram itself that's having problems importing contacts and is telling you to please try again later because of "system limitation".

@delivrance Got it. In this case, you will have to forget about checking telephone numbers. Thank you for the quick answers!

@windx13 I wish many other parameters were documented like this. We probably could have not find a solution without reading that and we would have gone mad seeing it suddenly worked again ^^
