Peer Resolution

mtgo-cli accepts multiple peer formats in any command that needs a peer argument:

Input	Example	Resolution
@username	@durov	Public username lookup
Phone	+1234567890	Contact lookup
me / self	me	Current user
Numeric ID	123456789	Auto-detected as user/chat
Explicit	channel:1234	Forced channel type

Resolve Peer

Get detailed access info for a peer:

mtgo-cli resolve-peer @username
mtgo-cli resolve-peer @username --format json

Usage in Commands

mtgo-cli get-user @durov
mtgo-cli send-message me "Hello self"
mtgo-cli get-chat channel:123456
mtgo-cli send-photo +1234567890 photo.jpg "From CLI"

Performance Tips

• Resolve peers once with resolve-peer, then use numeric IDs in subsequent calls
• Commands like send-message, get-user, and get-chat bypass JSON and use the Go API directly — prefer them over raw invoke for precision with access_hash values
