client = TelegramClient(username, api_id, api_hash)
client.start()
offset_id = 0
limit = 100
all_messages = []
total_messages = 0
total_count_limit = 0
while True:
print("Current Offset ID is:", offset_id, "; Total Messages:", total_messages)
history = client(GetHistoryRequest(
peer="https://t.me/futballbadnews",
offset_id=offset_id,
offset_date=None,
add_offset=0,
limit=limit,
max_id=0,
min_id=0,
hash=0
))
if not history.messages:
break
messages = history.messages
for message in messages:
all_messages.append(message.to_dict())
offset_id = messages[len(messages) - 1].id
total_messages = len(all_messages)
if total_count_limit != 0 and total_messages >= total_count_limit:
break

How to get messages from a public channel on Telegram using Telethon?
Take a look into the documentation, so you can see how to set up correctly the get_messages request.
import asyncio
from telethon import TelegramClient
from telethon.tl import functions, types
client = TelegramClient('YOUR_SESSION_NAME', 'YOUR_API_ID', 'YOUR_API_HASH')
client.start()
async def main():
channel = await client.get_entity('CHANNEL USERNAME')
messages = await client.get_messages(channel, limit= None) #pass your own args
#then if you want to get all the messages text
for x in messages:
print(x.text) #return message.text
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
