Chat Object

Represents a chat — a group, channel, contact, or bot conversation.

💡 Most fields are only populated by getChat. Elsewhere you usually get just id, title, and type.

Fields

Field	Type	Required	Description
`id`	String	Yes	The chat.
`title`	String	Optional	Chat title.
`name`	String	Optional	Chat name, where one is set separately from the title.
`type`	String	Optional	`"Group"`, `"Channel"`, `"Contact"`, or `"Bot"`.
`version`	String	Optional	Version stamp of the last profile update.
`description`	String	Optional	Chat description. Only in getChat.
`category`	String	Optional	Chat category. Only in getChat.
`language_code`	String	Optional	IETF language tag of the chat's main language. Only in getChat.
`regions`	String	Optional	Allowed region. `null` means all regions. Only in getChat.
`member_count`	Integer	Optional	Total members. Only in getChat.
`invite_link`	String	Optional	Join link for the chat. Only in getChat.
`photo`	Photo	Optional	Chat photo. Only in getChat.
`tagsDefinition`	Array of chatTag	Optional	Tags defined on the chat.

Depending on the chat type, the server may include extra internal fields — scheduling, splash, and slot settings among them. They are not part of the documented contract and no SDK exposes them.
