contacts.getBirthdays#daeda864 = contacts.ContactBirthdays;

help.dismissSuggestion#f50dbaa1 peer:InputPeer suggestion:string = Bool;

Use account.updateBirthday to set a birthday date that will be displayed to the users specified in the privacy settings », according to the current privacy setting of inputPrivacyKeyBirthday (only contacts by default).

The birthday (if accessible to the current user) will be present in user.birthday, changing it will emit an updateUser update.

Setting the actual birth year is optional, and if set, the allowed age range is currently 0 <= years <= 150 (checked only when updating the birthday); a 400 BIRTHDAY_INVALID error will be emitted otherwise.

To remove the birthday, call the method without setting the birthday flag.

The client should display a tooltip to set a birthday; this tooltip may be dismissed by the user, triggering a call to help.dismissSuggestion with suggestion=BIRTHDAY_SETUP to sync the state on all currently logged-in clients through the dismissed_suggestions client configuration field ».

contacts.getBirthdays returns all users with birthdays that fall within +1/-1 days, relative to the current day: this method should be invoked by clients every 6-8 hours, and if the result is non-empty, it should be used to appropriately update locally cached birthday information in user.birthday.

If and only if the BIRTHDAY_CONTACTS_TODAY suggestion » is not set, all contacts whose user.birthday fields (updated through contacts.getBirthdays and in other ways, i.e. through updateUser updates) fall within +1/-1 days relative to today should be always listed in an action bar shown in the global dialog list (not the user-specific action bar »), inviting the user to make a birthday gift to those users, in the form of one or more Telegram Premium subscriptions ».

The birthday action bar may be dismissed by the user, syncing its state to other currently logged-in sessions by invoking help.dismissSuggestion with suggestion=BIRTHDAY_CONTACTS_TODAY.
Since BIRTHDAY_CONTACTS_TODAY is an inverted suggestion, dismissing it will actually enable it in the client configuration on all currently logged-in sessions, notified by an updateConfig, and its presence should be treated as a signal to not display the birthday action bar.

The suggestion is also automatically enabled by the server if the user gifts one or more Telegram Premium subscriptions to friends with birthdays falling within the next/previous 24 hours, thus hiding the birthday action bar to other logged-in sessions.

Additionally, if a user has a birthday falling within the specified time range (+1/-1 days) as specified in user.birthday, a gift icon tooltip should be shown in the text input bar in private chats with them, leading to the Telegram Premium gift flow » (this also applies to non-contacts that have allowed us to see their birthday date), regardless of the presence or absence of BIRTHDAY_CONTACTS_TODAY.
