Telegram Global Search using the raw API function via Telethon - telethon

Question

I am trying to use the SearchGlobalRequest API method for global, full-text search on Telegram, but I am not sure what to use for some of the arguments, especially the offset_peer parameter. When I do this:
try:
result = client(SearchGlobalRequest(
q=search_term,
filter=None,
min_date=datetime.datetime.strptime(min_date, '%Y-%m-%d'),
max_date=datetime.datetime.strptime(max_date, '%Y-%m-%d'),
offset_rate=-1,
# offset_peer=None,
offset_id=-1,
limit=10
))
except Exception as e:
print(e)
I get __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'offset_peer'.
When I try to pass None as offset_peer, I get Cannot cast NoneType to any kind of Peer. I am not trying to search in any specific channel, I just want to specify the start and end date and find all (or rather as many as possible) matching results.
I am using Telethon version 1.24.0.

Next code works for me:
from telethon.tl.functions.messages import SearchGlobalRequest
from telethon.tl.types import InputMessagesFilterEmpty, InputPeerEmpty
results = client(SearchGlobalRequest(
q='your_query_here',
filter=InputMessagesFilterEmpty(),
min_date=None,
max_date=None,
offset_rate=0,
offset_peer=InputPeerEmpty(),
offset_id=0,
limit=100,
folder_id=None
))
print(results.stringify())
