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_chat_history_count(chat_id)
