Hi,

Well the topic says it all, I want to simulate that my bot has read the messages in my channel. By default with the telegram api it seems it is not possible to increment the post view count. Does anybody know how can I achieve that?

Cheers.

That's not possible with the BOT-API. With private API you can achieve it tho.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, I see there's a Bot Api and old Telegram Api. I did not notice this. Could be that the method you are talking about is
messages.readHistory?

Cheers.

It seems this won't be of use, because what I wanted is to simulate chat conversations in telegrams with bots. Let them mark messages as read, etc... With the Private Api, you can call this readHistory method but only for a user with a phone number registered, etc... this is why I wanted to do it with bots.

If anyone knows any other way to do this with the Telegram API I will be really happy if you can share your knoledge.

Thanks in advance.

Hey! You mean views on messages that are on your channel?
Yes that is doable and you can purchase that.
Cheers!
