How to get the message if i have message's channel and timestamp #66

Closed wiyr closed 7 years ago

How to get the message if i have message's channel and timestamp ? Is there any api to solve this problem ? I don't want to get all the channel message and compare their timestamp. And I find that method search and reactions.list don't have time filter. Is there any approach to find the message or reaction with specific duration ?

For questions about the API itself, I strongly recommend reaching out to Slack's developer support team at feedback@slack.com.

The channels.history API method is probably your best bet for finding specific messages, as there's no direct retrieve-single-message API available. Use the latest and oldest parameters to focus the query on the specific timestamp you're looking for: https://api.slack.com/methods/channels.history
