List messages in a chat

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Retrieve the list of messages in a chat.

This method supports federation. To list chat messages in application context, the request must be made from the tenant that the channel owner belongs to (represented by the tenantId property on the channel).

Notes:

• This API supports subscribing to changes (create, update, and delete) using change notifications. This allows callers to subscribe and get changes in real time. For details, see Get notifications for messages.
• This API works differently in one or more national clouds. For details, see Implementation differences in national clouds.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	Chat.Read	Chat.ReadWrite
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	ChatMessage.Read.Chat	Chat.Read.All, Chat.ReadWrite.All, ChatMessage.ReadWriteSelected.Chat

HTTP request

GET /me/chats/{chat-id}/messages
GET /users/{user-id | user-principal-name}/chats/{chat-id}/messages
GET /chats/{chat-id}/messages

Optional query parameters

This method supports the following OData query parameters.

Name	Description
$top	Controls the number of items per response. Maximum allowed $top value is 50.
$orderby	Currently supports the lastModifiedDateTime (default) and createdDateTime properties in descending order. The ascending order is currently not supported.
$filter	Sets the date range filter for the lastModifiedDateTime and createdDateTime properties. The lastModifiedDateTime property supports the gt and lt operators. The createdDateTime property supports the lt operator. You can only filter results if the request URL contains the $orderby and $filter query parameters configured for the same property; otherwise, the $filter query option is ignored.

The other OData query parameters are not currently supported.

Request headers

Header	Value
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.

Request body

Don't supply a request body for this method.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and a collection of chatMessage objects in the response body.
