+        Retrieves statistics from the given megagroup or broadcast channel.
+
+        Note that some restrictions apply before being able to fetch statistics,

+        requires `at least 500 members`_).

+        Raises
+            If the given entity is not a channel (broadcast or megagroup),
+            a `TypeError` is raised.
+
+            If there are not enough members (poorly named) errors such as
