**Description**  
Hello, I had a quick question concerning the call logs endpoint only returning up to 6 months ago worth of data. I was wondering if there was any way to get any legacy call log data from an earlier time. I know that you can manually access older call logs in the web portal but that log has far less information and, critically, is missing the unique identifier. If that is all that is available, then we’ll make it work, but I just wanted to check.

Thank you for posting the Development Forum. You are correct that only six months worth of data is currently return. See this helpful developer forum post for more detais on this topic:

> Hi @tzoom, Thanks for reaching out about this. Currently, we only return data within the last 6 months via API, as you noted. If you need to retrieve messages beyond this, you can retrieve data up to 1 year from the reports available on [zoom.us](http://zoom.us): [Storing and viewing chat message history – Zoom Help Center](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115005516426-Storing-and-viewing-chat-message-history#:~:text=downloading%20stored%20messages-,Sign%20in%20to%20the%20Zoom%20web%20portal.,the%20From%20and%20To%20fields). While this is expected behavior for the API, I can appreciate the need to be able to query further beyond 6 months. If you’re so inclined, I recommend posting a feature request for this her…
