Here, i have provided latest and oldest timestamps to cover a time range when we need to collect the messages from the all messages in conversation history.Īnd the cusor argument is being used to point the next cursor value as this method can only collect 100 messages at one time but it supports pagination through which we can point the next cursor value from result. Logger.exception("Error while fetching the conversation history") Ts_list = for item in all_messages]Ĭursor=result, """Method to fetch the conversation history of particular channel""" def get_conversation_history(self, channel_id, latest, oldest): In order to retrieve all the messages from a particular channel in slack this can be done by using conversations.history method in slack_sdk library in python. Threads function a bit like conversations within a conversation and need to be downloaded separately.Ĭheck out this page of the official documentation for more details on threading. This is where our Slack app will post to once we set it up. In addition use conversations.replies to download threads in a conversation. Open Slack, click Add channels, and create a new channel called notifications. bot IDs: (there is no official bots.list method, but there is an unofficial one, which might help in some cases).
Note that this method will return messages in a raw JSON format with IDs only, so you will need to call additional API method to resolve those IDs into plain text: This method also supports paging allowing you to download large amounts of messages. The new API method conversations.history will allow you to download messages from every type of conversation / channel (public, private, DM, Group DM) as long as your token has access to it. With the new Conversations API this task is bit easier now.
