Getting participants of a group/channel

GramJS provides two friendly methods to get a list of participants from a channel a group.

The interface looks like this. you can read more about filters here https://core.telegram.org/type/ChannelParticipantsFilter

TypeScript

export interface IterParticipantsParams {
    limit?: number,
    search?: string,
    filter?: Api.TypeChannelParticipantsFilter,
}

TypeScript

getParticipants(entity: EntityLike, params: chatMethods.IterParticipantsParams);

Javascript

which returns an array with a .total attribute returning the real number of users in the group.

you can also use an iterator with iterParticipants

Examples:

Using iterParticipants

const participants = client.iterParticipants("your_entity_here", {
    limit: 10,
});
for await (const participant of participants) {
    //console.log("participant is", participant); // this line is very verbose but helpful for debugging
    console.log("username text is : ", participant.username);
}

Using getParticipants

const result = await client.getParticipants("gramjs",{
    limit:10
});
console.log(result);
