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``, *optional*): Pass a single message identifier or a list of message ids (as integers) to get the content of the message themselves. Iterators and Generators are also accepted. reply_to_message_ids (``iterable``, *optional*): Pass a single message identifier or a list of message ids (as integers) to get the content of the previous message you replied to using this message. Iterators and Generators are also accepted. If *message_ids* is set, this argument will be ignored. replies (``int``, *optional*): The number of subsequent replies to get for each message. Defaults to 1.
