# \[AUTHENTICATED READ\] History

`POST /tw-v2/xchat/history`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.tweetapi.com`
- URL: `https://api.tweetapi.com/tw-v2/xchat/history`
- Auth: API key in header `X-API-Key`

Get decrypted conversation history for an end-to-end encrypted X Chat conversation. Returns messages in decrypted plaintext with metadata. Prerequisite - You must call /xchat/setup first before fetching history.

## Request body

- XChatHistoryRequest
  - `authToken` string, required: Caller-supplied auth_token cookie value. Treat it as a secret.
  - `proxy` string
  - `conversationId` string, required
  - `cursor` string
  - `limit` integer

## Response `200`

Successful response

- XChatHistoryResponse
  - `messages` object[], required
  - `hasMore` boolean, required
  - `nextCursor` string, nullable, required

## Other responses

- `400`: The request is invalid. Check the parameters and try again.
- `401`: The TweetAPI key or caller-supplied Twitter authentication token is missing or invalid.
- `403`: The authenticated account is not permitted to perform the operation.
- `404`: The requested resource or route was not found.
- `429`: A plan limit rejected the request. The code field says which one. RATE_LIMITED means the per-minute limit was exceeded; wait for Retry-After. QUOTA_EXHAUSTED means the allowance and prepaid balance are used up. SUBSCRIPTION_INACTIVE means the subscription has expired or is inactive. Retrying won't fix the last two. A 429 without a code is temporary; retry with bounded backoff. This response does not include X-RateLimit headers.
- `500`: The request could not be completed.
- `503`: Request allowance is temporarily unavailable. This request was not processed. Follow Retry-After before trying again; contact support if the error persists.
