How GET the chat messages from the Zoom App with API?

[jamesdeschenes (James Deschênes)]

Description
How could I get the messages sent/received from the Zoom App with the API? I tried some endpoints and no messages appear in the API.

Error
The API returns an empty array, when the App contains some messages:

Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?
#1 Start a webinar with Zoom App. Here I started one with my account: info@immersion360.studio.
user_id: e3gNYzFyTTedKASz9z3pdg
webinar_id: 89544566714

#2 With a valid access_token, from OAuth2, call endpoint:
GET https://api.zoom.us/v2/chat/users/{userId}/messages
(https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/chat-messages/getchatmessages)

Which Endpoint/s?
Chat Messages / List User’s Chat Messages GET
(https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/chat-messages/getchatmessages)

How To Reproduce (If applicable)
See ’’Which App Type’’ section.

Hi @jamesdeschenes,

Thank you for reaching out about this, and good question.

To clarify, we do not currently support retrieving Chat messages that were sent in-meeting or in-webinar. The endpoint you’re testing with is for retrieving Chat messages from the Zoom Messaging client, which is different.

While it’s a great suggestion to be able to pull in-meeting chat messages via API, this is not currently supported. If you’re so inclined, I might recommend posting a feature request for this here: #feature-requests

Thanks,
Will
