Export

To export the chat messages for a concrete room you need to execute a GET request against the /rooms/:id/chat/export endpoint.

Use the session_id argument if you want to export messages written in a concrete session. https://api.digitalsamba.com/api/v1/rooms/c39d7c40-7ff7-4faa-b06f-698a639a9523/chat/export?session_id=16e44502-dae5-41f9-b095-e41bf6ac2d1d

Only public chat messages are retrievable. Private (1-to-1) chat is not persisted and cannot be retrieved through the API.
