Get channel id by channel name or invite hash about pyrogram HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi there! Nope, is not possible to get the id/hash pair for private chats or channels via the joinchat link without joining first, all you can do is using messages.CheckChatInvite to get a brief description. You have to pass only the link hash as argument, which is GG4BlQwm19czcBGOewv40Q in your example.

However, if the chat/channel is public (i.e., you have its public username), you can get the id/hash pair by using contacts.ResolveUsername.

Edit: If the channel/group is public and all you have is just an invite link, you can use messages.CheckChatInvite to get the id/hash pair. The returned type will be types.ChatInviteAlready in this case, instead of types.ChatInvite

Thanks! Will try!

Telethon has sugar method get_entity. It is quite handy for the current case.

@ksanderer Thanks. New features/ideas are surely welcome and being Pyrogram pretty young there's a lot of room for improvements.
