Is there a way of getting previous messages?

[James91]

I'm going to close this issue. I can get the messages back by editing the get-messages.ts file. I will do a pull request when I have cleaned up my code.

@James91 keep in mind that the skype server keeps limited history for conversations (normally it is kept locally in the client). Previously (or maybe it is new api not yet active) you could get some history: https://github.com/ocilo/skype-http/blob/master/src/lib/api/get-messages.ts . As to can you right now with the API? In quickly reviewing it no, I do not see previous message pulling.

Skype Web and Skype on the phone seems to get a history of messages. I'm assuming there must be a way to get the message history.

Edit - Done a postman on "v1/users/ME/conversations/conserationId/messages" with the headers and get back the expected results. I'm not the best with typescript but trying to get the get-messages.ts working.

Fantastic, thanks for your future contribution and problem solving:)

Hi @James91
I'm happy that you managed to get older messages.
Is your version available somewhere? If you don't have much time right now, I might do it now that I finally got back to this library.

I'll keep the issue open until this feature is merged.

Hi @demurgos

Sorry, I've been away for two days. My code is a bit of a hack together and I need to tidy it up before I would be happy releasing it. I kind of just copied the conversation class and changed it to the message URL. I have added the ability to add a start date too.

I'm in the middle of a project deadline and don't really have time to fix it up for the next few weeks.

[demurgos]

Ok, I can totally understand deadline so no problem about it. (I was myself not very active for some time).

I'll assign myself to the issue when I'll start working on it: if you have some free time before it, feel free to send a PR, even it's just a hack we'll be able to iterate.

I am mostly interested about your other issue: #55. Could you check out my branch quickly?

@James91
Do you have more time to send a PR?

[James91]

Yeah will do this weekend
