You can retrieve up to 200 messages at once. Args: chat_id (``int`` | ``str``): Unique identifier (int) or username (str) of the target chat. For your personal cloud (Saved Messages) you can simply use "me" or "self". For a contact that exists in your Telegram address book you can use his phone number (str). message_ids (``iterable``): A list of Message identifiers in the chat specified in *chat_id* or a single message id, as integer. Iterators and Generators are also accepted. replies (``int``, *optional*): The number of subsequent replies to get for each message. Defaults to 1. Returns: On success and in case *message_ids* was a list, the returned value will be a list of the requested :obj:`Messages ` even if a list contains just one element, otherwise if *message_ids* was an integer, the single requested :obj:`Message ` is returned.
