List channel messages

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Retrieve the list of messages (without the replies) in a channel of a team.

To get the replies for a message, call the list message replies or the get message reply API.

This method supports federation. To list channel 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).

Note: 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 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)	ChannelMessage.Read.All	Group.Read.All, Group.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	ChannelMessage.Read.Group	ChannelMessage.Read.All, Group.Read.All, Group.ReadWrite.All

Note

The ChannelMessage.Read.Group permission uses resource-specific consent.

HTTP request

GET /teams/{team-id}/channels/{channel-id}/messages

Optional query parameters

This method supports the following OData query parameters.

Name	Description
$top	Apply $top to specify the number of channel messages returned per page in the response. The default page size is 20 messages. You can extend up to 50 channel messages per page.
$expand	Apply $expand to get the properties of channel messages that are replies. By default, a response can include up to 1000 replies. For an operation that expands channel messages with more than 1000 replies, use the request URL returned in replies@odata.nextLink to get the next page of replies.

The other OData query parameters are not currently supported.

Note: GET /teams/{team-id}/channels/{channel-id}/messages/delta supports filtering by date, which provides similar data to GET /teams/{team-id}/channels/{channel-id}/messages .

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.

Example 3: Request with $top and $expand query options on replies

Request

The following request uses $top to return one channel message per page, and $expand to include replies to that channel message.

Response

The following response shows one channel message on the page, and includes a URL in @odata.nextLink for a subsequent operation to get the next message in that channel.

The response includes replies of that channel message. In practice, this operation can return up to 1000 replies of a channel message, and includes a URL in replies@odata.nextLink to get any further replies beyond the page size of 1000. This example assumes more than 1000 replies in that channel message, but for readability, the following response shows only 3 replies.
