You can get up to 100 messages at once. For a more convenient way of getting a chat history see :meth:`~pyrogram.Client.iter_history`. Parameters: 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). limit (``int``, *optional*): Limits the number of messages to be retrieved. By default, the first 100 messages are returned. offset (``int``, *optional*): Sequential number of the first message to be returned. Defaults to 0 (most recent message). Negative values are also accepted and become useful in case you set offset_id or offset_date. offset_id (``int``, *optional*): Pass a message identifier as offset to retrieve only older messages starting from that message. offset_date (``int``, *optional*): Pass a date in Unix time as offset to retrieve only older messages starting from that date. reverse (``bool``, *optional*): Pass True to retrieve the messages in reversed order (from older to most recent). Returns: List of :obj:`~pyrogram.types.Message` - On success, a list of the retrieved messages is returned. Example: .. code-block:: python # Get the last 100 messages of a chat app.get_history(chat_id) # Get the last 3 messages of a chat app.get_history(chat_id, limit=3) # Get 3 messages after skipping the first 5 app.get_history(chat_id, offset=5, limit=3) """ offset_id = offset_id or (1 if reverse else 0) messages = await utils.parse_messages( self, await self.send( raw.functions.messages.GetHistory( peer=await self.resolve_peer(chat_id), offset_id=offset_id, offset_date=offset_date, add_offset=offset * (-1 if reverse else 1) - (limit if reverse else 0), limit=limit, max_id=0, min_id=0, hash=0 ), sleep_threshold=60 ) ) if reverse: messages.reverse() return messages
