First of all, auth.exportLoginToken must be called by the app that wants to log in to an existing Telegram account.
The method will return an auth.loginToken constructor, containing a binary login token
and an expiry date (usually 30 seconds).
The login token
must be encoded using base64url, embedded in a tg://login?token=base64encodedtoken
URL and shown in the form of a QR code to the user.
After the expiration of the current QR code, the auth.exportLoginToken method must be recalled and a new QR code must be generated automatically.
In order to log in, the QR code must be scanned and accepted by an already logged-in Telegram app using auth.acceptLoginToken.
The token must be extracted from the tg://login
URI and base64url-decoded before using it in the method.
Possible errors returned by the method are:
AUTH_TOKEN_INVALID
, an invalid authorization token was providedAUTH_TOKEN_EXPIRED
, the provided authorization token has expired and the updated QR-code must be re-scannedAUTH_TOKEN_ALREADY_ACCEPTED
, the authorization token was already usedThe method will return an authorization object, containing info about the app and session that we just authorized.
After the logged-in app calls auth.acceptLoginToken and accepts the login token, the app that is trying to login will receive an updateLoginToken update, which should trigger a second call to the auth.exportLoginToken method.
This second call should then return an auth.loginTokenSuccess constructor, indicating successful login, essentially allowing further authorized interaction with the API.
If, however, there is a DC mismatch between the two apps, auth.loginTokenMigrateTo is returned instead, to which the app that is trying to login should respond by calling auth.importLoginToken with the specified token
, to the specified DC.
This call should then finally return a auth.loginTokenSuccess constructor.
