This convenience method does the same as repeatedly calling :meth:`~Client.get_history` in a loop, thus saving you from the hassle of setting up boilerplate code. It is useful for getting the whole chat history with a single call. 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, no limit is applied and all messages are returned. offset (``int``, *optional*): Sequential number of the first message to be returned.. Negative values are also accepted and become useful in case you set offset_id or offset_date. offset_id (``int``, *optional*): Identifier of the first message to be returned. 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: ``Generator``: A generator yielding :obj:`Message` objects. Raises: RPCError: In case of a Telegram RPC error.
