## Method: getChatHistory
[Back to methods index](index.md)
YOU CANNOT USE THIS METHOD IN MADELINEPROTO
Returns messages in a chat. Automatically calls openChat. Returns result in reverse chronological order, i.e. in order of decreasing message.message_id
### Params:
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|:-------------:|:--------:|------------:|
|chat\_id|[InputPeer](../types/InputPeer.md) | Yes|Chat identifier|
|from\_message\_id|[long](../types/long.md) | Yes|Identifier of the message near which we need a history, you can use 0 to get results from the beginning, i.e. from oldest to newest|
|offset|[int](../types/int.md) | Yes|Specify 0 to get results exactly from from_message_id or negative offset to get specified message and some newer messages|
|limit|[int](../types/int.md) | Yes|Maximum number of messages to be returned, should be positive and can't be greater than 100. If offset is negative, limit must be greater than -offset. There may be less than limit messages returned even the end of the history is not reached|
### Return type: [Messages](../types/Messages.md)
### Example:
```
$MadelineProto = new \danog\MadelineProto\API();
if (isset($token)) { // Login as a bot
$this->bot_login($token);
}
if (isset($number)) { // Login as a user
$sentCode = $MadelineProto->phone_login($number);
echo 'Enter the code you received: ';
$code = '';
for ($x = 0; $x < $sentCode['type']['length']; $x++) {
$code .= fgetc(STDIN);
}
$MadelineProto->complete_phone_login($code);
}
$Messages = $MadelineProto->getChatHistory(['chat_id' => InputPeer, 'from_message_id' => long, 'offset' => int, 'limit' => int, ]);
```
Or, if you're into Lua:
```
Messages = getChatHistory({chat_id=InputPeer, from_message_id=long, offset=int, limit=int, })
```
