# The full conversation of a dating contact, a page at a time

`GET /api/v1/contacts/{id}/dating/messages`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://memchats.com`
- URL: `https://memchats.com/api/v1/contacts/{id}/dating/messages`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The messages of either side older than `before` (the newest ones without it), oldest first, and whether there are more. The ficha opens with the last 30 (GET /api/v1/contacts/{id}/dating) and pages back with this. A `before` that is not a message of this contact gives an empty page.

## Path parameters

- `id` integer, required

## Query parameters

- `before` integer
- `limit` integer

## Response `200`

One page

- object
  - `messages` DatingThreadMessage[]
    - `id` integer
    - `from` 'me' | 'her'
    - `text` string
    - `sentAt` string, date-time
    - `timeKnown` boolean: false: the time was not seen (screenshot without times, or typed without one) and sentAt only keeps the order.
    - `typedByHand` boolean: true: typed by hand without a time (show no time label). With timeKnown false and typedByHand false, the time was unreadable in the screenshots.
    - `language` string, nullable
  - `hasMore` boolean

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid paging
- `404`: Not one of the account's dating contacts (`contact_not_found`)
