From 299e67e34f322aa9ef6365476e6c7b9ade498fb2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Burt Date: Sat, 23 May 2026 20:45:34 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Clarify normal group ID formats in README fix: distinguish basic group from supergroup/channel in ID format docs Basic groups use plain negative ID (e.g. -5076123456), not the -100 prefix. Only supergroups/channels use -100XXXXXXXXXX. The old docs conflated both, causing Telethon to misclassify basic groups as channels. --- README.md | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 73587e3..4146763 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -63,8 +63,8 @@ To find chat IDs, you can: 1. **For private chats**: Use the user's ID (positive number) 2. **For groups/channels**: Use the negative ID format - - For groups: `-100` + group ID (e.g., `-1001234567890`) - - For channels: `-100` + channel ID (e.g., `-1001234567890`) + - For basic groups: `-` + group ID (e.g., `-1234567890`) + - For supergroups/channels: `-100` + channel ID (e.g., `-1001234567890`) You can use tools like [@userinfobot](https://t.me/userinfobot) or [@get_id_bot](https://t.me/get_id_bot) to get chat IDs.
