Is there an implementation for retrieving media and attachments count in channels/supergroups?

[seanvelasco]

I couldn't find any documentation for retrieving the count or number of media files and attachments in a channel.

There is member_count for getSupergroup, but there exists no member for media count, links count, or files count.

However, previewing a channel on https://t.me/s/channel, the site seems to able to display the above missing counts:

Perhaps this is unspecced?

You need to use the method getChatMessageCount for this.

that was it - thank you very much!

example usage for getting links count:

{
    "@type": "getChatMessageCount",
    chat_id: -1001123464890,
    filter: {
        "@type": "searchMessagesFilterUrl"
    }
}
