what is the correct way to get channel/chat/user name and title of forwarded message?

p.s : I have the same question as LonamiWebs/Telethon#335

It depends whether you want to listen for new Messages or retrieve old ones.
In both cases you'll end up with a Message object which contains the optional fwd_from field; if the field exists (i.e.: is not None) the message is a forwarded message.

i listen for updates with below code. i get forward id from "message.fwd_from" but how can i get username and title of channel or User by this id ?

def update_handler(client, update, users, chats):
    if isinstance(update, types.UpdateNewChannelMessage):
        message = update.message

        if isinstance(message, types.Message):  # Filter by Message to exclude MessageService and MessageEmpty
            if not chats[message.to_id.channel_id].megagroup:  # Only handle messages from Channels not Supergroups
                message_fwd_from_id = None
                message_fwd_from_username = None
                message_fwd_from_title = None

                if message.fwd_from is not None:
                    if message.fwd_from.channel_id is not None:
                        message_fwd_from_id = message.fwd_from.channel_id
                        message_fwd_from_username = ???
                        message_fwd_from_title = ???
                    if message.fwd_from.from_id is not None:
                        message_fwd_from_id = message.fwd_from.from_id
                        message_fwd_from_username = ???
                        message_fwd_from_title = ???

client.set_update_handler(update_handler)

From https://docs.pyrogram.ml/pyrogram/Client#pyrogram.Client.set_update_handler

chats (dict) – Dictionary of all Chat and Channel mentioned in the update. You can access extra info about the chat (such as title, participants_count, etc…) by using the IDs you find in the update argument (e.g.: chats[1701277281]).
