[FEATURE] messages.getAllChats method not found in Bot class

[goedzo]

I want to get all the chats my bot is in, and the messages.getAllChats from the API should give these:
https://core.telegram.org/method/messages.getAllChats

However I am unable to find this method in the Bot class.

getChat(chat_id, timeout=None, api_kwargs=None) is implemented in Bot class, so to me it seems logically that getAllChats can also be added to the same object.

@Bibo-Joshi Why is this closed? The official API support this feature:
https://core.telegram.org/method/messages.getAllChats

That's Mtproto, not the bot API. The Bot API documentation is linked in the FAQ entry that I pointed you to.

@Bibo-Joshi thanks for the quick reply, but now I am a little confused here. What is the difference between Mtproto and the API?
Under the API/Methods, the getAllChats function is listed: https://core.telegram.org/methods
To me this looked like an api method, but from your reply it seems that this is not?

Nevertheless my goal is to get the chatID from all the groups my bot is in. Is this even possible?

See tdlib/telegram-bot-api#1 (comment)
If you want to know all chats your bot is a member in, you'll have to keep track. See the chatmemberbot.py example in the examples directory.
