Accessing Telegram Message by its id

I'm using Telethon Library to get messages, filter them, and a bit later if some conditions were met, reply to them with a specific answer. The question is, can I get info about a message (most importantly its text), just by having its id?

You can use client.get messages for that.

If ids is present in the named arguments and is not a list, a single Message will be returned for convenience instead of a list.

Here is a minimal working example to get you the idea:

from telethon import TelegramClient

API_ID= ...
API_HASH=" ... "

client = TelegramClient('session', api_id=API_ID, api_hash=API_HASH)

async def print_message():
    message = await client.get_messages('TelethonSnippets', ids=3)
    print("MESSAGE:", end="\n-------\n")
    print(message.text)

with client:
    client.loop.run_until_complete(print_message())
