"""
Iterator over the messages for the given chat.
The default order is from newest to oldest, but this
behaviour can be changed with the `reverse` parameter.
If either `search`, `filter` or `from_user` are provided,
:tl:`messages.Search` will be used instead of :tl:`messages.getHistory`.
.. note::
Telegram's flood wait limit for :tl:`GetHistoryRequest` seems to
be around 30 seconds per 10 requests, therefore a sleep of 1
second is the default for this limit (or above).
Arguments
entity (`entity`):
The entity from whom to retrieve the message history.
It may be `None` to perform a global search, or
to get messages by their ID from no particular chat.
Note that some of the offsets will not work if this
is the case.
Note that if you want to perform a global search,
you **must** set a non-empty `search` string, a `filter`.
or `from_user`.
limit (`int` | `None`, optional):
Number of messages to be retrieved. Due to limitations with
the API retrieving more than 3000 messages will take longer
than half a minute (or even more based on previous calls).
The limit may also be `None`, which would eventually return
the whole history.
offset_date (`datetime`):
Offset date (messages *previous* to this date will be
retrieved). Exclusive.
offset_id (`int`):
Offset message ID (only messages *previous* to the given
ID will be retrieved). Exclusive.
max_id (`int`):
All the messages with a higher (newer) ID or equal to this will
be excluded.
min_id (`int`):
All the messages with a lower (older) ID or equal to this will
be excluded.
add_offset (`int`):
Additional message offset (all of the specified offsets +
this offset = older messages).
search (`str`):
The string to be used as a search query.
filter (:tl:`MessagesFilter` | `type`):
The filter to use when returning messages. For instance,
:tl:`InputMessagesFilterPhotos` would yield only messages
containing photos.
from_user (`entity`):
Only messages from this entity will be returned.
wait_time (`int`):
Wait time (in seconds) between different
:tl:`GetHistoryRequest`. Use this parameter to avoid hitting
the ``FloodWaitError`` as needed. If left to `None`, it will
default to 1 second only if the limit is higher than 3000.
If the ``ids`` parameter is used, this time will default
to 10 seconds only if the amount of IDs is higher than 300.
ids (`int`, `list`):
A single integer ID (or several IDs) for the message that
should be returned. This parameter takes precedence over
the rest (which will be ignored if this is set). This can
for instance be used to get the message with ID 123 from
a channel. Note that if the message doesn't exist, `None`
will appear in its place, so that zipping the list of IDs
with the messages can match one-to-one.
.. note::
At the time of writing, Telegram will **not** return
:tl:`MessageEmpty` for :tl:`InputMessageReplyTo` IDs that
failed (i.e. the message is not replying to any, or is
replying to a deleted message). This means that it is
**not** possible to match messages one-by-one, so be
careful if you use non-integers in this parameter.
reverse (`bool`, optional):
If set to `True`, the messages will be returned in reverse
order (from oldest to newest, instead of the default newest
to oldest). This also means that the meaning of `offset_id`
and `offset_date` parameters is reversed, although they will
still be exclusive. `min_id` becomes equivalent to `offset_id`
instead of being `max_id` as well since messages are returned
in ascending order.
You cannot use this if both `entity` and `ids` are `None`.
reply_to (`int`, optional):
If set to a message ID, the messages that reply to this ID
will be returned. This feature is also known as comments in
posts of broadcast channels, or viewing threads in groups.
This feature can only be used in broadcast channels and their
linked megagroups. Using it in a chat or private conversation
will result in ``telethon.errors.PeerIdInvalidError`` to occur.
When using this parameter, the ``filter`` and ``search``
parameters have no effect, since Telegram's API doesn't
support searching messages in replies.
.. note::
This feature is used to get replies to a message in the
*discussion* group. If the same broadcast channel sends
a message and replies to it itself, that reply will not
be included in the results.
scheduled (`bool`, optional):
If set to `True`, messages which are scheduled will be returned.
All other parameter will be ignored for this, except `entity`.
Yields
Instances of `Message <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>`.

Sends a message to the specified user, chat or channel.
The default parse mode is the same as the official applications
(a custom flavour of markdown). ``**bold**, `code` or __italic__``
are available. In addition you can send ``[links](https://example.com)``
and ``[mentions](@username)`` (or using IDs like in the Bot API:
``[mention](tg://user?id=123456789)``) and ``pre`` blocks with three
backticks.
Sending a ``/start`` command with a parameter (like ``?start=data``)
is also done through this method. Simply send ``'/start data'`` to
the bot.
See also `Message.respond() <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message.respond>`
and `Message.reply() <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message.reply>`.
Arguments
entity (`entity`):
To who will it be sent.
message (`str` | `Message <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>`):
The message to be sent, or another message object to resend.
The maximum length for a message is 35,000 bytes or 4,096
characters. Longer messages will not be sliced automatically,
and you should slice them manually if the text to send is
longer than said length.
reply_to (`int` | `Message <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>`, optional):
Whether to reply to a message or not. If an integer is provided,
it should be the ID of the message that it should reply to.
attributes (`list`, optional):
Optional attributes that override the inferred ones, like
:tl:`DocumentAttributeFilename` and so on.
parse_mode (`object`, optional):
See the `TelegramClient.parse_mode
<telethon.client.messageparse.MessageParseMethods.parse_mode>`
property for allowed values. Markdown parsing will be used by
default.
formatting_entities (`list`, optional):
A list of message formatting entities. When provided, the ``parse_mode`` is ignored.
link_preview (`bool`, optional):
Should the link preview be shown?
file (`file`, optional):
Sends a message with a file attached (e.g. a photo,
video, audio or document). The ``message`` may be empty.
thumb (`str` | `bytes` | `file`, optional):
Optional JPEG thumbnail (for documents). **Telegram will
ignore this parameter** unless you pass a ``.jpg`` file!
The file must also be small in dimensions and in disk size.
Successful thumbnails were files below 20kB and 320x320px.
Width/height and dimensions/size ratios may be important.
For Telegram to accept a thumbnail, you must provide the
dimensions of the underlying media through ``attributes=``
with :tl:`DocumentAttributesVideo` or by installing the
optional ``hachoir`` dependency.
force_document (`bool`, optional):
Whether to send the given file as a document or not.
clear_draft (`bool`, optional):
Whether the existing draft should be cleared or not.
buttons (`list`, `custom.Button <telethon.tl.custom.button.Button>`, :tl:`KeyboardButton`):
The matrix (list of lists), row list or button to be shown
after sending the message. This parameter will only work if
you have signed in as a bot. You can also pass your own
:tl:`ReplyMarkup` here.
All the following limits apply together:
* There can be 100 buttons at most (any more are ignored).
* There can be 8 buttons per row at most (more are ignored).
* The maximum callback data per button is 64 bytes.
* The maximum data that can be embedded in total is just
over 4KB, shared between inline callback data and text.
silent (`bool`, optional):
Whether the message should notify people in a broadcast
channel or not. Defaults to `False`, which means it will
notify them. Set it to `True` to alter this behaviour.
background (`bool`, optional):
Whether the message should be send in background.
supports_streaming (`bool`, optional):
Whether the sent video supports streaming or not. Note that
Telegram only recognizes as streamable some formats like MP4,
and others like AVI or MKV will not work. You should convert
these to MP4 before sending if you want them to be streamable.
Unsupported formats will result in ``VideoContentTypeError``.
schedule (`hints.DateLike`, optional):
If set, the message won't send immediately, and instead
it will be scheduled to be automatically sent at a later
time.
comment_to (`int` | `Message <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>`, optional):
Similar to ``reply_to``, but replies in the linked group of a
broadcast channel instead (effectively leaving a "comment to"
the specified message).
This parameter takes precedence over ``reply_to``. If there is
no linked chat, `telethon.errors.sgIdInvalidError` is raised.
nosound_video (`bool`, optional):
Only applicable when sending a video file without an audio
track. If set to ``True``, the video will be displayed in
Telegram as a video. If set to ``False``, Telegram will attempt
to display the video as an animated gif. (It may still display
as a video due to other factors.) The value is ignored if set
on non-video files. This is set to ``True`` for albums, as gifs
cannot be sent in albums.
Returns
The sent `custom.Message <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>`.

Forwards the given messages to the specified entity.
If you want to "forward" a message without the forward header
(the "forwarded from" text), you should use `send_message` with
the original message instead. This will send a copy of it.
See also `Message.forward_to() <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message.forward_to>`.
Arguments
entity (`entity`):
To which entity the message(s) will be forwarded.
messages (`list` | `int` | `Message <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>`):
The message(s) to forward, or their integer IDs.
from_peer (`entity`):
If the given messages are integer IDs and not instances
of the ``Message`` class, this *must* be specified in
order for the forward to work. This parameter indicates
the entity from which the messages should be forwarded.
silent (`bool`, optional):
Whether the message should notify people with sound or not.
Defaults to `False` (send with a notification sound unless
the person has the chat muted). Set it to `True` to alter
this behaviour.
background (`bool`, optional):
Whether the message should be forwarded in background.
with_my_score (`bool`, optional):
Whether forwarded should contain your game score.
as_album (`bool`, optional):
This flag no longer has any effect.
schedule (`hints.DateLike`, optional):
If set, the message(s) won't forward immediately, and
instead they will be scheduled to be automatically sent
at a later time.
Returns
The list of forwarded `Message <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>`,
or a single one if a list wasn't provided as input.
Note that if all messages are invalid (i.e. deleted) the call
will fail with ``MessageIdInvalidError``. If only some are
invalid, the list will have `None` instead of those messages.

Edits the given message to change its text or media.
See also `Message.edit() <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message.edit>`.
Arguments
entity (`entity` | `Message <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>`):
From which chat to edit the message. This can also be
the message to be edited, and the entity will be inferred
from it, so the next parameter will be assumed to be the
message text.
You may also pass a :tl:`InputBotInlineMessageID` or :tl:`InputBotInlineMessageID64`,
which is the only way to edit messages that were sent
after the user selects an inline query result.
message (`int` | `Message <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>` | `str`):
The ID of the message (or `Message
<telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>` itself) to be edited.
If the `entity` was a `Message
<telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>`, then this message
will be treated as the new text.
text (`str`, optional):
The new text of the message. Does nothing if the `entity`
was a `Message <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>`.
parse_mode (`object`, optional):
See the `TelegramClient.parse_mode
<telethon.client.messageparse.MessageParseMethods.parse_mode>`
property for allowed values. Markdown parsing will be used by
default.
attributes (`list`, optional):
Optional attributes that override the inferred ones, like
:tl:`DocumentAttributeFilename` and so on.
formatting_entities (`list`, optional):
A list of message formatting entities. When provided, the ``parse_mode`` is ignored.
link_preview (`bool`, optional):
Should the link preview be shown?
file (`str` | `bytes` | `file` | `media`, optional):
The file object that should replace the existing media
in the message.
thumb (`str` | `bytes` | `file`, optional):
Optional JPEG thumbnail (for documents). **Telegram will
ignore this parameter** unless you pass a ``.jpg`` file!
The file must also be small in dimensions and in disk size.
Successful thumbnails were files below 20kB and 320x320px.
Width/height and dimensions/size ratios may be important.
For Telegram to accept a thumbnail, you must provide the
dimensions of the underlying media through ``attributes=``
with :tl:`DocumentAttributesVideo` or by installing the
optional ``hachoir`` dependency.
force_document (`bool`, optional):
Whether to send the given file as a document or not.
buttons (`list`, `custom.Button <telethon.tl.custom.button.Button>`, :tl:`KeyboardButton`):
The matrix (list of lists), row list or button to be shown
after sending the message. This parameter will only work if
you have signed in as a bot. You can also pass your own
:tl:`ReplyMarkup` here.
supports_streaming (`bool`, optional):
Whether the sent video supports streaming or not. Note that
Telegram only recognizes as streamable some formats like MP4,
and others like AVI or MKV will not work. You should convert
these to MP4 before sending if you want them to be streamable.
Unsupported formats will result in ``VideoContentTypeError``.
schedule (`hints.DateLike`, optional):
If set, the message won't be edited immediately, and instead
it will be scheduled to be automatically edited at a later
time.
Note that this parameter will have no effect if you are
trying to edit a message that was sent via inline bots.
Returns
The edited `Message <telethon.tl.custom.message.Message>`,
unless `entity` was a :tl:`InputBotInlineMessageID` or :tl:`InputBotInlineMessageID64` in which
case this method returns a boolean.
Raises
``MessageAuthorRequiredError`` if you're not the author of the
message but tried editing it anyway.
``MessageNotModifiedError`` if the contents of the message were
not modified at all.
``MessageIdInvalidError`` if the ID of the message is invalid
(the ID itself may be correct, but the message with that ID
cannot be edited). For example, when trying to edit messages
with a reply markup (or clear markup) this error will be raised.
Example
.. code-block:: python
message = await client.send_message(chat, 'hello')
await client.edit_message(chat, message, 'hello!')
