openemail.chats
Every method in this namespace: its signature, its parameters, what it returns and an example.
Methods
The conversations held with the assistant in the app: list and search them, read one, rename it and delete it. Only the workspace owner reaches them.
chats.list()
List the assistant chats
def list( *, limit: int | None = None, cursor: str | None = None, q: str | None = None, sort: ChatSort | None = None, api_key: str | None = None, timeout: float | None = None,) -> Page[ChatResource]Returns one page of the conversations held with the assistant in the app, newest first, as its Chats page lists them, each with its title, how many messages it holds and when it last changed.
Only the workspace owner reaches the chats: an API key, or an access token the owner connected with every address. A token acting for a member is 403 owner_only, and a key or token limited to particular addresses or domains is 422 capability_unsupported.
Parameters
limitintPage size, from 1 to 100. The server defaults to 25.
cursorstrThe
nextCursorof the previous page. Leave it out for the first page.qstrSearches the titles.
sortChatSortnewest(the default) oroldestby the last change, ortitle. A cursor carries on in the order it was handed out in.api_keystrOverrides the client's API key for this call only.
timeoutfloatSeconds this call may take, the response included, before it raises
OpenEmailNetworkErrorwithis_timeout. It overrides the client'stimeoutfor this call, and0turns the limit off.
Returns
Page[ChatResource], a dict with items, hasMore and nextCursor. Each item has id, title, kind, messageCount and updatedAt.
Example
from openemail import openemail page = openemail.chats.list(q='invoices', limit=10) for chat in page['items']: print(chat['title'], chat['messageCount'], chat['updatedAt']) print('More to read:', page['hasMore'])Notes
A cursor that names nothing in this list is 400
invalid_cursor.

Collect every chat into one list
def list_all( *, limit: int | None = None, cursor: str | None = None, q: str | None = None, sort: ChatSort | None = None, api_key: str | None = None, timeout: float | None = None,) -> builtins.list[ChatResource]Walks every page of list and returns every chat in one list, in the order sort= names. One request per page, with the same filters on each.
Parameters
limitintPage size for each request, from 1 to 100. The server defaults to 25.
cursorstrStarts the walk after this cursor instead of the first page.
qstrSearches the titles.

Returns
list[ChatResource] holding every chat.
Example
from openemail import openemail chats = openemail.chats.list_all() print(len(chats), 'chats holding', sum(chat['messageCount'] for chat in chats), 'messages')Notes
If any page fails, the call raises and the rows already fetched are discarded.

chats.iterate()
Stream the chats one at a time
def iterate( *, limit: int | None = None, cursor: str | None = None, q: str | None = None, sort: ChatSort | None = None, api_key: str | None = None, timeout: float | None = None,) -> Iterator[ChatResource]Returns a generator that yields one chat at a time, in the order sort= names, and requests the next page only once the current one is drained. Nothing is fetched until you loop over it, and breaking out of the loop stops the requests.
Parameters
limitintPage size for each request, from 1 to 100. The server defaults to 25.
cursorstrStarts the walk after this cursor instead of the first page.
qstrSearches the titles.

Returns
Iterator[ChatResource], a generator yielding one chat per step.
Example
from openemail import openemail for chat in openemail.chats.iterate(sort='title'): print(chat['title'], chat['messageCount'])Notes
Each page is one request, so a long walk makes many.
