Checklist
- This is a documentation problem, not a question or a bug report.
- I have searched for this issue before posting it and there isn't a duplicate.
The problem is documented in the link from the error. There is nothing in the documentation to fix.
The documentation link gives the following error:
404 Not Found
You are browsing the documentation of telethon. The documentation page you are looking for was not found.
Also the problem happens to be in MacOS, because the same code I have implemented works windows but it doesn't work on Mac.
My bad, I hadn't clicked the link.
In any case, the current URL is correct:
Telethon/telethon/client/users.py
Line 470 in d3a201a
so you're most likely using a (very) old version of Telethon.
As the page explains, if the entity is not in cache, it won't work.
