How to parse this result-CodePudding

I want to get the id and first_name of a user using the GetContactsRequest method from the Telethon library so that I can send a message using that id without having to hard code the id of every contact I have. This is the code

from telethon.sync import TelegramClient
from telethon import functions, types

with TelegramClient('session', api_id, api_hash) as client:
    result = client(functions.contacts.GetContactsRequest(
        hash=0
    ))
    print(result.stringify())

This is the output of result.stringify()

Contacts(
    contacts=[
        Contact()
        Contact()
    ]
    users=[
        User(
            id = xxx
            first_name = 'name'
        ),
        User(
            id = xxx
            first_name = 'name'
        )
    ]
)

The problem is I am not sure how to parse this, Any help would be really appreciated

CodePudding user response：

You can refer the documentation for Contacts here. Basically, all you need to do is iterate over the users and access id for each user.

for user in result.users:
    print (user.id, user.first_name)
