Method: updates.getChannelDifference
Warning: this is a low-level, complex method that must never be used directly.
The event handler provides a high-level abstraction that must be used instead of this method to fetch updates. If you want to fetch all users of a bot using a bot token, use getDialogIds or the high-level broadcast API, instead.
You cannot use this method directly, please use the event handler, instead.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
force | Bool | Set to true to skip some possibly unneeded updates and reduce server-side load | Optional |
channel | Username, chat ID, Update, Message or InputChannel | The channel | Optional |
filter | ChannelMessagesFilter | Messsage filter | Optional |
pts | int | Persistent timestamp (see updates) | Optional |
limit | int | How many updates to fetch, max 100000 Ordinary (non-bot) users are supposed to pass 10-100 | Optional |
Return type: updates.ChannelDifference
