How to get telegram chat id – Telegram API

So i have this python code that figures out channel chat id to send message for multiple channels in a given list.

I only have the channel invite link

I still didn’t figure out how can i get the channel id by the name only.

import os
import telebot
API_KEY = os.environ['API_KEY']
bot = telebot.TeleBot(API_KEY)
a=input("edit msg.txt to send the msg if done press enter")
message=open("message.txt","a+")
bot.send_message(chat_id,message)

    You can use the getChat method to resolve a channel username to the chat id. You can also just send the message using the username – see the docs of sendMessage and e.g. this answer.

    If you prefer to use Telegram API together with javascript and axios library then you might consider the following:

    const method = 'get'

const headers: any = {
  'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  timestamp: +new Date(),
}

const options = { headers: { ...headers } }

const urlTelegramBase =
  'https://api.telegram.org/bot123456:ABCDEF'

const urlGetUpdates = `${urlTelegramBase}/getUpdates`
const username = 'user_name'

const {
  data: { result: messages },
} = await axios[method](urlGetUpdates, options)

const chat_id = messages.find(
  messageBlock => messageBlock.message.chat.username === username
).message.chat.id

console.info('chat_id': chat_id)
