channel message statistics with get_stats

Question

I'am trying to get message statistics using telethon get_stats.

channel = '@test'
async with client:
    stats = await client.get_stats(entity=channel,message=92)
    print(stats.stringify())

But I keep getting ChatAdminRequiredError

Can it be used only for channels where I am admin?

Answer 1

From the docs:

Note that some restrictions apply before being able to fetch statistics, in particular the channel must have enough members (for megagroups, this requires at least 500 members).

and

If there are not enough members (poorly named) errors such as telethon.errors.ChatAdminRequiredError will appear.
