How to forward all media group in whole with python telegram bot

I used sendMediaGroup to send a media group to a channel with my bot. Now I'm going to need to forward all that media group to a specific chat id in whole (with one message not more).

but a media group when sent is actually a list of media which is requested to url:

https://api.telegram.org/bot{bot-token}/sendMediaGroup

which is not treated as ONE message with ONE message id. And in the other hand forward_message gets a message id from a specific chat and forwards it to the target. so When we want to forward the messages returned from the url, .../sendMediaGroup, we are actually splitting a media groups into its media and forwarding them one by one.

So how can we forward that one message which is the whole media group?

Media groups are indeed just a bunch of messages that are nicely displayed by the client and as of Bot API 5.2 there is no method to forward them as a whole. However, since you're sending the media group to the channel yourself, you could just send it to the chat via sendMediaGroup, too, instead of of forwarding.
