Subject: Retrieve chat history
I want to retrieve message history for a particular user. Such that when user logs in I want to fetch all the chat history for that user.
Is there any direct api for retrieving message history ?

normally clients store the history in a local database and retrieve them on their own without special XMPP extensions.

There is also server side message archiving when your server supports this feature. see:
XEP-0136: Message Archiving

protocol classes for XEP-0136 are currently not implmemted in MatriX.

Thanks for your reply.

In my case client stores it temporarily until user log off. So every time user logs in history has to be fetched from server & saved in temp db.
I know our server supports message archiving.

protocol classes for XEP-0136 are currently not implemented in MatriX.

How abt using Iqfilter & then call SendIq\SendIqSynchronous  ?

When you store it until you log off you already have all messages.

Messages sent to you while you are offline get delivered automatically from your server when you login again. There is no additional code required.

What if user wants to retrieve old messages?  (say week old or 5 day old message)
I cannot keep old messages in temp db because next time when a new user logs in I do not want the new user to have access to previous user's messages.

you can protect the database and make it available only to teh user it belongs to.

As I said before there is server side archieving XEP-0136. When you server supports this you can use it.

just to update this thread. Message archiving XEP-0136 is supported in MatriX for a while now.
