send_cached_media()

async Client.send_cached_media()

Send any media stored on the Telegram servers using a file_id.

This convenience method works with any valid file_id only. It does the same as calling the relevant method for sending media using a file_id, thus saving you from the hassle of using the correct method for the media the file_id is pointing to.
