How To Get A Telegram Private Channel Id With Telethon

Hi can't figure out how to solve this problem, so any help will be really appreciated. I'm subscribed to a private channel. This channel has no username and I don't have the invite

Solution 1:

if you have access to the channel, then it's shown in your chat list.

You have to loop through your chats checking their titles and then store the desired chat in a variable:

my_private_channel_id = None
my_private_channel = Noneasyncfor dialog in tg.client.iter_dialogs():
    if dialog.name == "private chat name":
        my_private_channel = dialog
        my_private_channel_id = dialog.idbreakif my_private_channel isNone:
    print("chat not found")
else:
    print("chat id is", my_private_channel_id)

Than you can filter messages sent to my_private_channel.

Solution 2:

You can't join a private channel without the invite link, nor can you get any information about it. It's private, as the name implies.
