How to get topic id for telegram group chat?

Recently Telegram added support for Topics in Groups in Bot API version 6.3 and this support added into python-telegram-bot version 13.15 (please find changelog https://docs.python-telegram-bot.org/en/stable/changelog.html)

It's not clear how to get a Topic ID (message_thread_id) for topics in Grpups where topics enabeled.

Any suggestion?

I'm trying to find a way how to get topic id for telegram group chats. Please be aware that I talking about message_thread_id, please do not confuse with chat_id.

Solution

You can try to get the message_thread_id from the message link

send a message to the topic you need from the application
right click on the sent message and choose "Copy message link"
paste link somewhere
you will see something like this: https://t.me/c/1112223334/25/33
the value 25(value after long number) from the link will be message_thread_id

I assume that -100 + 1112223334 - will be equal chat_id

The number after will be message_thread_id

And the last one should be message_id
