how to search for links using telethon

Is there any way I can filter the messages I get from:

client.get_messages()

to a spasific pattern? (in this case links)

I can filter it after I get all the messages but if there is a way to do it earlier that would be better.

get_messages (or iter_messages) supports filter argument that takes any of MessagesFilter constructors.

so in your case, use:

await client.get_messages(chat,
    filter=telethon.types.InputMessagesFilterUrl()
)
