Retrieving all chat members (channels too)

You can use

to retrieve the participants (click it to see the relevant parameters).
Most of the time you will just need ``client.get_participants(entity)``.
This is what said method is doing behind the scenes as an example.
In order to get all the members from a mega-group or channel, you need
to use `GetParticipantsRequest`__. As we can see it needs an

.. note::
It is **not** possible to get more than 10,000 members from a
group. It's a hard limit impossed by Telegram and there is
nothing you can do about it. Refer to `issue 573`__ for more.
If you need more than 10,000 members from a group you should use the
mentioned ``client.get_participants(..., aggressive=True)``. It will
do some tricks behind the scenes to get as many entities as possible.
Refer to `issue 573`__ for more on this.
Note that ``GetParticipantsRequest`` returns `ChannelParticipants`__,

Forwarding messages
*******************
Note that ForwardMessageRequest_ (note it's Message, singular) will *not*
work if channels are involved. This is because channel (and megagroups) IDs
are not unique, so you also need to know who the sender is (a parameter this
request doesn't have).
Either way, you are encouraged to use ForwardMessagesRequest_ (note it's
Message*s*, plural) *always*, since it is more powerful, as follows:
This request is available as a friendly method through
:obj:`client.forward_messages <telethon.telegram_client.TelegramClient.forward_messages>``,
and can be used like shown below:
.. code-block:: python
# If you only have the message IDs
client.forward_messages(
entity, # to which entity you are forwarding the messages
message_ids, # the IDs of the messages (or message) to forward
from_entity # who sent the messages?
)
# If you have ``Message`` objects
client.forward_messages(
entity, # to which entity you are forwarding the messages
messages # the messages (or message) to forward
)
# You can also do it manually if you prefer
from telethon.tl.functions.messages import ForwardMessagesRequest
# note the s ^
messages = foo() # retrieve a few messages (or even one, in a list)
