I am trying to get the parent message of a threaded reply with the Slack API. When a new reply is put, it has a "thread_ts" attached to it, which corrsponds to its parent message's "ts". I tried to do a searchall with the ts as the query but this didn't work. How would I do this?
See Slack's docs on retrieving a single message with channels.history. This "selecting 1 item from a range" approach should also work with other channel history methods and conversations.history.
The easiest way is to provide the thread_ts value you want to look up as the latest parameter to conversations.history, along with the containing channel ID as channel, and a limit of 1 to ask for a single message. You will need the corresponding *:history scope to make the request.
Example:
GET /api/conversations.history?token=TOKEN_WITH_CHANNELS_HISTORY_SCOPE&channel=C2EB2QT8A&latest=1476909142.000007&inclusive=true&limit=1

I am trying to fetch the conversation history for a specific thread. I am using
const history = await this.slack.conversations.history({
channel,
latest: threadTs,
});
But I am getting the conversation history for the whole channel instead of just for the the threadTs that I am passing to latest. Is what Im trying to do possible? I am using the 'latest' argument because it was suggesting in another StackOverflow post.
Hopefully, you've since found the answer yourself, but just in case: the API method you're looking for is conversations.replies. It takes a channel and a ts parameter, where the latter is the identifier for the message which started the thread.
From the documentation page linked above:
This Conversations API method returns an entire thread (a message plus all the messages in reply to it), while conversations.history method returns only parent messages.
One small note: as you can see, the returned list will always contain the originating message (the one whose ts you're passing).
So, I have a request that should list my subscribers who do not have the private subscriptions option enable. My request is:
response = youtube.subscriptions().list(
part="snippet",
maxResults=50,
mySubscribers=True
).execute()
However, in items resource, every channel returned is my own channel. My channel name, ID and profile images. Is this the problem with the API or am I making a wrong request?
I also tried using the Try this API option on the documentation, but it also returns the same result.

Thank you for any help you can give
According to the official docs you already quoted, you should have passed to your API call the parameter part as:
part="snippet,subscriberSnippet".
The subscriberSnippet part gives you the needed info:
subscriberSnippet (object)
The subscriberSnippet object contains basic details about the subscriber.
For what concerns the snippet part, the official doc is indeed a bit ambiguous:
snippet (object)
The snippet object contains basic details about the subscription, including its title and the channel that the user subscribed to.
Nevertheless, the info you get from part="snippet" only is correct.
Using Microsoft Graph, how can I determine which message an outgoing message is a reply to?
The internetMessageHeaders property is not available for items in the Sent Items folder of mailboxes (using the Graph API, at least -- they are available using EWS or IMAP). If it were, I'd look for the in-reply-to header. In the absence of this, is there something in the standard Graph message properties that will tell me this?
You can check the "Subject" or "bodyPreview" to check if the content contains "RE:", if the answer is yes, the message is reply to.
You can group the message by conversationId and then order by lastModifiedDateTime. This way can check if the message is the original one, if it is not ,it will be reply-to/follow-up one.
Get the message list first(/me/messages or /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/messages and so on), and then foreach the message id to call reply api(/users/{id | userPrincipalName}/messages/{id}/reply and so on). The result in the reply is a reply to.
To Test this, you can use the Graph Explorer first and then paste the JSON to a JSON viewer tool. For further use, you need to use net/java and so on to handle.

I'm using Microsoft Graph to get a list of messages for a user.
I'm using the following URL
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/inbox/messages
One important thing that is returned by this is the meetingMessageType when the message revolves around a meeting request.
I would also like to get the uniqueBody of the message. However, that's not provided by default. One needs to specifically ask for that field. I can do that by adding ?$select=uniqueBody to the URL.
However, that now means that I need to add the rest of the fields I want to the $select query parameter. That's not a big deal until I run into meetingMessageType. Microsoft Graph returns:
Could not find a property named 'meetingMessageType' on type 'Microsoft.OutlookServices.Message'.
What can I do to ensure I get both uniqueBody and meetingMessageType?
Try this:
$select=uniqueBody, microsoft.graph.eventMessage/meetingMessageType
Yogesh's answer is close but will result in a Only one level select is supported error.
As long as you don't care about the value of meetingMessageType, you can use this select:
$select=microsoft.graph.eventMessage, uniqueBody
You'll note that the results no longer include meetingMessageType as a property. The list however is limited to only those messages that are eventMessage, effectively giving you a result set filtered to only show meeting requests.
Problem
Using the Twilio REST API, I want to request only messages that I haven't downloaded yet. It seems the cleanest way to do this would be to download only messages after a specified SID.
Information not in the docs
The Twilio filter docs don't have this option. They only describe to, from, and date_sent.
However, it appears that Twilio does have this feature. You can see in their paging information, that the the nextpageuri contains AfterSid.
When browing the website, the URL contains /user/account/log/messages?after=SMXXXXXX
What I've tried so far
Using the twilio-ruby client, I have tried the following without success:
list = #client.account.sms.messages.list({after: 'SMXXXXXX'})
list = #client.account.sms.messages.list({AfterSid: 'SMXXXXXX'})
list = #client.account.sms.messages.list({after_sid: 'SMXXXXXX'})
From Dan Markiewicz - Twilio Customer Support
Unfortunately, we do not support filtering by this field in our API at this time. Your best option would be to get the DateCreated info on the SID you want to filter by and then use that to filter the messages by only those sent after that date. Since the date filter only supports filtering down to the day, it may return some number of unwanted messages that were sent that day but before the message you want to filter by. However, each message in the list will have a full date_created field down to the second, so you should be able to filter these out fairly easily on your end. This should produce the result you need.
After looking at the documentation you outlined, it looks like what you want to accomplish can't be done by the twilio-ruby gem. This link shows which filters are supported by the list method inside the gem in regards to messages.
If you look at the source here, starting on line 45 the gem uses next_page_uri as a way of determining the offset of where the next page should begin. For instance:
calls = twilio_client.account.calls.list # returns the initial set of calls.
calls.next_page # this uses next_page_uri to return the next set of calls internally.
This isn't something that can be changed via the gem currently.
