hello

Slack is a flexible instant messaging platform for organizations. It allows you to connect with your colleagues, share documents, and organize teams. It also allows teams to collaborate with images, videos, voice messages, and huddles across teams, time zones, and physical spaces. Slack’s API has allowed it to become a highly integrated productivity tool.

In this course, you’ll become efficient at automating chats, managing channels, and making interactive messages using the API. Learn how to share and manage files on Slack using the API. At the end of the course, you’ll use Slack’s Bolt for Python framework for building a small, custom application and integrating with Slack directly.

## Overview

In this lesson, we retrieve information from Slack's Conversations API. This set of endpoints is useful when we create an application for different workspaces.

Let’s look at the following endpoints in this lesson:

1. `conversations.history`: This endpoint fetches a conversation's history, including messages and events.
2. `conversations.info`: This endpoint retrieves information about a conversation.
3. `conversations.list`: This endpoint lists all channels in a Slack team.
4. `conversations.members`: This endpoint retrieve members of a conversation.
5. `conversations.replies`: This endpoint retrieve a thread of messages posted to a conversation.


## Get the conversation history

To acquire the conversation history, we access the `https://slack.com/api/conversations.history` endpoint. This endpoint allows us to get all the sent messages present in a conversation. You're advised to use the `limit` parameter so that the response is not too large. 

Some important query parameters for the `conversations.history` endpoint are the following:
