messaging.listMessages

List messages in a chat, cursor-paginated.

Prerequisites

  • A Curviate API key, passed as apiKey when you construct the client. Quickstart shows how to create one.
  • A connected LinkedIn account. This resource is account-scoped: the account_id is injected automatically by the account-scoped accessor, so you pass it once to curviate.account(...) and every call below inherits it. Quickstart covers connecting one, and accounts.list returns the account_id of each account already connected.

Signature

listMessages(chatId: string, params?: MessageListQuery): Promise<MessageListPage>

Example

import { Curviate } from "@curviate/sdk";
 
const curviate = new Curviate({
  apiKey: "cvt_live_...",
  baseUrl: "https://api.curviate.com",
});
 
const page = await curviate.account("acc_YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID").messaging.listMessages("chat_YOUR_CHAT_ID");
for (const item of page.items ?? []) {
  console.log(item.id);
}
// `page.cursor` is the opaque cursor for the next page (null when exhausted).

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
chatIdstringYesThe unique identifier of the chat to list messages from.
modestringNoHow willing this read is to reach LinkedIn: auto (default), live, refill, or cache_only. Details: /reference/getting-started/cache.
max_agenumberNoMaximum age in seconds of a stored copy this read accepts; overrides mode in both directions. Not with cache_only. Details: /reference/getting-started/cache.
user_idstringNoOptional filter: only return messages from this sender ID.
beforestringNoISO-8601 UTC datetime (exclusive upper bound). Only entries before this time are returned.
afterstringNoISO-8601 UTC datetime (exclusive lower bound). Only entries after this time are returned.
limitnumberNoNumber of items to return per page (1-25, default 20).
cursorstringNoAn opaque cursor for pagination. Pass the cursor from the preceding response to fetch the next page.
expandstringNoExtra fields to resolve, comma-separated in one value (expand=public_identifier). Present on every result as a value or null; repeating the key drops values.

Returns

Resolves to MessageListPage. Top-level fields: object, items, cursor, notices, observed_at, source, withdrawn, withdrawn_at, safety_warning.

Error codes

CodeWhat it means, and what to do
UNAUTHORIZEDThe API key is missing, malformed, or revoked. Check the key you passed to the client.
INVALID_REQUESTA parameter failed validation. The message names the offending field; fix the request rather than retrying it.
RATE_LIMIT_ACCOUNTThis account's own quota is exhausted. Wait for the window in the Retry-After header, then retry.
RATE_LIMIT_TENANTThe tenant-wide quota is exhausted across all accounts. Slow the whole workload, not just this call.
PLATFORM_RATE_LIMITLinkedIn is throttling this account. Back off well beyond the hinted delay; sustained pressure risks the account.
PLATFORM_ERRORAn upstream failure, usually transient: retry once with backoff before treating it as a real error. Check the response first, though. When it carries retry_likely_to_succeed: false and retry_hint: {kind: "never"}, retrying cannot help and backing off only delays the real answer.
ACCOUNT_NOT_FOUNDNo connected account with that id belongs to this tenant. List your accounts to get a current id.
INTERNALAn unexpected server error. Retry once; if it persists, it is ours, not yours.
RESOURCE_NOT_FOUNDThe id in the path does not exist, or is not visible to this account. Re-read it from the list endpoint that produced it.

Every code above is a stable CurviateError.code you can branch on. The full list, the response envelope, and retry semantics are in the Error codes reference.
