API referenceMessages

List messages across inboxes or for one inbox

Lists messages newest first across every inbox on your account, or a single inbox via inboxId.

Endpoint
GET https://api.dairo.app/v1/messages

Lists messages newest first across every inbox on your account, or a single inbox via inboxId. The default view is the unified projection over inbound, outbound, and agent-to-agent messages; narrow it with threadId, direction (inbound or outbound), and channel. Results are keyset-paginated — limit defaults to 25 (max 100), and each page returns an opaque nextCursor you pass back as cursor to page forward. One special case: direction=outbound with no channel returns the send ledger instead — the same rows carrying delivery status, providerMessageId, and bounce/complaint timestamps — and that ledger view is unpaginated (honoring only inboxId and limit), so passing cursor or threadId alongside it returns 400; add an explicit channel (e.g. ?channel=email&direction=outbound) for the paginated unified list. An unrecognized channel, direction, limit, or cursor is a 400. Requires the messages:read scope; see keyset pagination.

Scope: messages:read. Send the API key as a bearer token; Scopes lists what each one reaches.
