Function
Note the distinction between this and GET/sms/conversations that returns details for all conversations of a phone line.
The GET/sms/conversation method returns details about a particular SMS conversation for a telephone line, displaying all the messages exchanged in the conversation. The response has the following fields of information:
- ID- a unique ID of each message in the flow of the conversation.
- new - a value of 1 indicates new message and a value of 0 indicates an old one.
- direction - the direction traveled by the messages. Either "in" or "out".
- sender - the number of the sender of the message.
- receiver - the number of the receiver of the message.
- time - the time the message was sent or received in Unix time format.
- msgdata - the actual content of an SMS message.
- Media - link to any media (picture, video, audio) attached to the message.
- read - a value of 1 indicates that the text of the message was read. 0 indicates it has not.
- read_by - a system ID of the user who read the message, if any.
- sent_by - a system ID of the user who sent the message.
- seen - not used at the moment (always 0), but will be implemented in the future to indicate MMS media in the message (such as audio or video) has been opened and seen by the user.
Parameters
All parameters go in the header.
| Parameter | Type | Operation |
| sms_line | string | The SMS line from which the list of messages are requested. You can get this from the GET/sms/lines request. |
| conversation | string | The ID for the conversation for which the details are requested - based on the other party's number. You obtain this ID using the GET/sms/conversations request. |
| limit | integer | (optional) Specify the number of messages to be returned by the request. |
| offset | integer | (optional) Specify the first record to display. An offset of 0 displays the first conversation. So, for example, an offset of 2 will start the list on the 3rd conversation. If left empty the default will be the first conversation. |
