What is the format of chat ID for source and Destination?

[alanliew88]

Hi, I have encounter this issue where it says syntax error on from_chat_id. I have created .env file with source and destination chat Id as format below:

######################

App Configurations

######################

SOURCE=10011878551292
DESTINATION=1001671503966

###########################

Telegram Configurations

###########################

Your app_id and api_hash obtained from my.telegram.org/apps

API_ID=123456 ---->(example)
API_HASH=123abc123abc123abc123abc --->(example)

Your user phone number

PHONE=65111222333

May I know which part is causing the error to happen? Thanks

The error message is :

File "main.py", line 40
def copy_message(from_chat_id: int, message_id: int, send_copy: bool = True) -> None:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

You have wrote a good code with good copy function. But without proper documentation, it's hard to guess and run like this...
