Get Messages of a Chat

Retrieve messages from a specific chat. Messages are returned in ascending order (earliest to latest), up to limit messages (default 50).

Required token scopes: View all chats

A filter is required - provide either botSessionId, or both beforeTime and beforeId:

Bot session - retrieve all messages from a specific bot session by providing botSessionId. You can obtain this ID via Search Chats or Get Chat by Chat ID - the chat object includes a botState field (and previousBotSession) where you can find the session id.
Before time & before ID - cursor pagination, both parameters together: the response includes messages with a timestamp up to and including beforeTime, excluding the message identified by beforeId. To page backwards through history, pass the timestamp and _id of the oldest message you already have.

All status values, type enums and the ID cheat sheet: Enums & Common Fields.
