Gets list of recent chat messages

Revision Get current information about current API revision (platform version) – im.revision.get : 18

Attention: restCommand function is used here for illustration purposes only. It is taken from the EchoBot example. You can send a REST command with your own function, or use the BX24.callMethod or bitrix24-php-sdk methods.

Parameters

Parameter Example Required Description Revision
USER_ID 1 Yes Dialog ID. Format:
chatXXX – recipient chat, in case of chat message
or XXX – recipient ID, in case of private conversation
19
LAST_ID 28561624 No ID of the last loaded message 19
FIRST_ID 454322 No ID of the first loaded message 19
LIMIT 20 No Limiting of number of selected messages in dialog 19
  • If the LAST_ID and FIRST_ID keys were not passed, the last 20 chat messages will be loaded.
  • To load next 20 messages you must pass LAST_ID with the minimal message ID, received from the last selection.
  • If you need to load next 20 messages, you must pass FIRST_ID with the maximum message ID, received from the last selection.
  • If you need to load first 20 messages, you must pass FIRST_ID with the ID equal to '0'. You will receive the result with the very first message, available to you in this chat.

Attention! Due to potential significant volume of data, this method does not support standard Bitrix24 REST API page navigation.
