List Chat Mesages

API and Webhooks
1

I am trying to list chat message from a user channel. I am using the oauth connection method which seems to work OK. I have question, does Zoom maintain chat messages from a channel for a certain length of time or are they kept by zoom until deleted?

In other words if I would like to list chat message from a channel from a few weeks ago are they still possible to list?

Thanks

Hey @moneil,

Yes your messages will still be possible to list, they are not deleted based on time.

Thanks,
Tommy

Thanks Tommy… can you tell me where the Chat messages are stored? I am using the List Chat API with a valid channel ID but can’t seem to find the messages. I keep getting an error message of:

The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Hey @moneil,

Can you share which Chat API you are using so we are on the same page?

Thanks,
Tommy

Hi Tommy … I got the List Chat Messages working OK. Where does Zoom read those messages from?

Are they stored on Zoom or are they kept on each PC?

How long are messages kept if kept on Zoom somewhere?

Thanks

Another question I had was for the List Chat Message API using the Channel. The documentation says to enter a date to view those messages in the channel. Is there an option to use a span of dates (from/to) or is one(1) date the limit for viewing messages,

Thanks Tommy
