Download Attachments from Chat APi

Description
As far as I can tell in the API documentation there is no way to get an attachment from a chat. When listing a users chat messages, the particular message that contains an attachment will say something like “This Person has sent you an image”. But contains url to download or anyway to get more information about the particular chat message, by including the message ID in the url for example.

Is there another way to get the image/file or is that not available in the API currently?
Thanks.

Hi @mason.richardson ,

Thanks for reaching out about this, and good question.

While it’s a great suggestion, it’s not currently possible to retrieve Chat files via API. However, we do hope to expand the capabilities of our Chat APIs in the coming months, and can certainly appreciate the use case.

If you’re so inclined, I’d recommend posting a feature request for this as well, here: #feature-requests

Thanks,
Will
