A Telethon session is a saved login file that lets you access a Telegram account without entering an OTP again.
You log in once with your phone number and OTP, and Telethon creates a session file that keeps you logged in automatically.
API ID and API Hash are unique keys provided by Telegram. They identify your app or script when connecting to Telegram through Telethon. Without them, Telethon cannot log in or create a session.
