It is useful both for Zulip clients (e.g. the web, desktop, mobile, and terminal clients) as well as bots, API clients, backup scripts, etc. By specifying a [narrow filter](/api/construct-narrow), you can use this endpoint to fetch the messages matching any search query that is supported by Zulip's powerful full-text search backend. When a narrow is not specified, it can be used to fetch a user's message history (We recommend paginating to 1000 messages at a time). In either case, you specify an `anchor` message (or ask the server to calculate the first unread message for you and use that as the anchor), as well as a number of messages before and after the anchor message. The server returns those messages, sorted by message ID, as well as some metadata that makes it easy for a client to determine whether there are more messages matching the query that were not returned due to the `num_before` and `num_after` limits. We recommend using `num_before <= 1000` and `num_after <= 1000` to avoid generating very large HTTP responses. A maximum of 5000 messages can be obtained per request; attempting to exceed this will result in an error. parameters: - name: anchor in: query description: | Integer message ID to anchor fetching of new messages. Supports special string values for when the client wants the server to compute the anchor to use: * `newest`: The most recent message. * `oldest`: The oldest message. * `first_unread`: The oldest unread message matching the query, if any; otherwise, the most recent message. The special values of `'newest'` and `'oldest'` are also supported for anchoring the query at the most recent or oldest messages. **Changes**: String values are new in Zulip 2.2 (feature level 1). The `first_unread` functionality was supported in Zulip 2.1.x and older by not sending anchor and using use_first_unread_anchor. In Zulip 2.1.x and older, `oldest` can be emulated with `anchor=0`, and `newest` with `anchor=10000000000000000` (that specific large value works around a bug in Zulip 2.1.x and older in the `found_newest` return value). schema: oneOf: - type: string - type: integer example: 42 - name: num_before in: query description: | The number of messages with IDs less than the anchor to retrieve. schema: type: integer example: 4 required: true - name: num_after in: query description: | The number of messages with IDs greater than the anchor to retrieve. schema: type: integer example: 8 required: true - name: narrow in: query description: | The narrow where you want to fetch the messages from.
