With a python based telegram bot that should help to setup group settings I want to hide/unhide the message history for new group subscribers. I am using the python-telegram-bot API wrapper (documented here).
For setting other permissions there is a method Bot.set_chat_permissions(). But for hide/unhide message history I found no method.
However, in the telegram API documentation there is an endpoint channels.togglePreHistoryHidden, that should do exactly what I want. But I could not figure out how to use that via python-telegram-bot.
Another user has asked a similar question, but related to telethon.
Any hints are appreciated.
python-telegram-bot is a wrapper for the Bot API. Only those methods listed in the API docs have a counterpart in python-telegram-bot.
The togglePreHistoryHidden method is an endpoint of the Telegram API != Bot API.
