Getting messages from the history

The API automatically registers messages sent by players in its history. Let's learn how to access them:

Getting by ID

If we know the message's ID, we can simply get the message's context:

SocialRegisteredMessageContext message = Social.get().getChatManager().getHistory().getById(id);

Getting all the messages sent in a specific channel with the ChatHistory::getByChannel method:

List<SocialRegisteredMessageContext> messages = Social.get().getChatManager().getHistory().getByChannel(channel);

Similarly, we can get all the messages sent by a specific user:

List<SocialRegisteredMessageContext> messages = Social.get().getChatManager().getHistory().getByUser(user);

The API also allows searching the whole history and filtering by a specific literal string:

var literal = "hello world";
List<SocialRegisteredMessageContext> messages = Social.get().getChatManager().getHistory().getByText(literal);
