Send Message as Channel

[straining7972]

Is this option available yet? to send message as your channels instead of your personal account. Didn't find anything similar in the docs or the issues.

[New-dev0]

there is send_as parameter in send_message method, present in master branch. You can use that to send as a channel.

Unfortunately this will have to be done through raw API in the meantime. v2 is still not ready for public use. I do not intend to add new features to v1, other than updating the layer used by the library to remain compatible with Telegram.

This means you can use raw API in v1.25 (available in PyPi) to achieve this but there is no send_as. For questions on how please use the official Telegram group or StackOverflow.
