get_chat_history_count()#
- Client.get_chat_history_count()#
Get the total count of messages in a chat.
Note
Due to Telegram latest internal changes, the server can’t reliably find anymore the total count of messages a private or a basic group chat has with a single method call. To overcome this limitation, Pyrogram has to iterate over all the messages. Channels and supergroups are not affected by this limitation.
Usable by Users Bots- Parameters:
chat_id (
int|str) – Unique identifier (int) or username (str) of the target chat.- Returns:
int– On success, the chat history count is returned.
Example
await app.get_history_count(chat_id)
