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

Scopesthreads:readPages through results
Signature
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

limitint

Page size, from 1 to 100. The server defaults to 25.

cursorstr

The nextCursor of the previous page. Leave it out for the first page.

qstr

Searches the titles.

sortChatSort

newest (the default) or oldest by the last change, or title. A cursor carries on in the order it was handed out in.

api_keystr

Overrides the client's API key for this call only.

timeoutfloat

Seconds this call may take, the response included, before it raises OpenEmailNetworkError with is_timeout. It overrides the client's timeout for this call, and 0 turns 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'])

chats.list_all()

Collect every chat into one list

Scopesthreads:readPages through results
Signature
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

limitint

Page size for each request, from 1 to 100. The server defaults to 25.

cursorstr

Starts the walk after this cursor instead of the first page.

qstr

Searches the titles.

sortChatSort

newest (the default) or oldest by the last change, or title. A cursor carries on in the order it was handed out in.

api_keystr

Overrides the client API key for every page of this walk.

timeoutfloat

Seconds this call may take, the response included, before it raises OpenEmailNetworkError with is_timeout. It overrides the client's timeout for this call, and 0 turns the limit off.

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

Scopesthreads:readPages through results
Signature
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

limitint

Page size for each request, from 1 to 100. The server defaults to 25.

cursorstr

Starts the walk after this cursor instead of the first page.

qstr

Searches the titles.

sortChatSort

newest (the default) or oldest by the last change, or title. A cursor carries on in the order it was handed out in.

api_keystr

Overrides the client API key for every page of this walk.

timeoutfloat

Seconds this call may take, the response included, before it raises OpenEmailNetworkError with is_timeout. It overrides the client's timeout for this call, and 0 turns the limit off.

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.

chats.get()

Retrieve a chat

Scopesthreads:read
Signature
def get(    id: str,    *,    api_key: str | None = None,    timeout: float | None = None,) -> ChatResource

Returns one chat with the assistant by its id: 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

idstrRequired

The chat id from list.

api_keystr

Overrides the client's API key for this call only.

timeoutfloat

Seconds this call may take, the response included, before it raises OpenEmailNetworkError with is_timeout. It overrides the client's timeout for this call, and 0 turns the limit off.

Returns

ChatResource with id, title, kind, messageCount and updatedAt.

Example

from openemail import openemail chat = openemail.chats.get('8f3c2a71-5e9d-4b06-a1c4-7d2e9f0b3a65') print(chat['title'], chat['messageCount'], chat['updatedAt'])

Notes

  • An unknown id is a 404.

chats.rename()

Rename a chat

Scopesthreads:write
Signature
def rename(    id: str,    title: str,    *,    api_key: str | None = None,    timeout: float | None = None,) -> ChatResource

Gives a chat with the assistant a new title, up to 120 characters, and returns the chat as it is now.

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

idstrRequired

The chat id from list.

titlestrRequired

The new title, from 1 to 120 characters.

api_keystr

Overrides the client's API key for this call only.

timeoutfloat

Seconds this call may take, the response included, before it raises OpenEmailNetworkError with is_timeout. It overrides the client's timeout for this call, and 0 turns the limit off.

Returns

ChatResource with the new title.

Example

from openemail import openemail chat = openemail.chats.rename('8f3c2a71-5e9d-4b06-a1c4-7d2e9f0b3a65', 'Quarterly invoices') print(chat['id'], chat['title'])

Notes

  • An unknown id is a 404.

  • Retried automatically on network failure, since the same title sent twice changes nothing.

chats.delete()

Delete a chat

Scopesthreads:write
Signature
def delete(    id: str,    *,    api_key: str | None = None,    timeout: float | None = None,) -> DeletedChatResource

Deletes a chat with the assistant and every message in it, for good. Nothing the assistant did in the mailbox is undone.

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

idstrRequired

The chat id from list.

api_keystr

Overrides the client's API key for this call only.

timeoutfloat

Seconds this call may take, the response included, before it raises OpenEmailNetworkError with is_timeout. It overrides the client's timeout for this call, and 0 turns the limit off.

Returns

DeletedChatResource with object set to chat, the id and deleted set to True.

Example

from openemail import OpenEmailApiError, openemail try:    removed = openemail.chats.delete('8f3c2a71-5e9d-4b06-a1c4-7d2e9f0b3a65')except OpenEmailApiError as error:    if not error.is_not_found:        raise     print('That chat is already gone')else:    print(removed['id'], removed['deleted'])

Notes

  • An unknown id is a 404, and so is a second call for the same chat.

  • The SDK does not retry it.
