To fetch the conversational messages between the bot and user in reverse chronological order. This API supports pagination. You can provide offset/skip and limit to get a certain number of messages at a time.
| Method | GET and POST |
| Endpoint | This API has two versions for GET and POST methods. The v1 of the API includes messages associated with all tasks, and it has a maximum limit of 100 messages per request. The v2 of the API does not include the messages related to Alert and Action tasks, and it has a maximum limit of 10,000 messages per request.
GET Method Note: The GET method shows the RTM interactions by default. To get the channel-specific interaction, use the channelType parameter in the GET method. For the channelType parameter values, see Request Body Parameters section. POST Method |
| accept-encoding | gzip, deflate, brThis allows the server to compress the response using any of these algorithms (gzip, deflate, or Brotli) before sending it back, which makes the response size smaller and faster to transmit over the network, thereby improving the overall performance of the API communication. Note: We recommend using this header element in v2 of the GET and the POST methods.
