Schema: channels.GetMessages & messages.GetMessages
Get one or more messages from a chat by using message identifiers.
Usage
client.api.getMessages(chatId, messageIds, replyToMessageIds, replies);| name | required | type | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| chatId | true | bigint or string | Unique identifier or username of the target chat. |
| messageIds | true | array of number | Message identifier to get the content of the message. You can pass with undefined if you want to use replyToMessageIds parameter. |
| replyToMessageIds | true | array of number | Message identifier to get the content of the previous message which is replied by current messages. You can pass with undefined if you want to use messageIds parameter. |
| replies | true | number | The number of subsequent replies to get for each message. Pass 0 for no reply at all or -1 for unlimited replies. Defaults to 1. |
You cannot use the messageIds parameter at the same time as replyToMessageIds, if the
messageIds parameter is available then we will prioritize using the messageIds parameter over
replyToMessageIds.
