I'd like to fetch the most recent messages from a channel that are older than a specific timestamp. E.g. if my limit is 5 days, I want the most recent messages that are at least 5 days old. I noticed the
FetchMessagesOptions
FetchMessagesOptions
object has the
before
before
parameter, but it works with a specific message ID, not a timestamp.
Do I first need to get the oldest message that is less than 5 days old, and then use that message's ID as the
before
before
value? Because I'm not sure how I could do this efficiently without unnecessary API requests. Or is there a better way?
