Importing Group Messages

Feature Overview
This API is used to import group messages without triggering callbacks or sending notifications.
When you are migrating your app from another instant messaging system to Tencent Cloud Chat, you can use this API to import group message data.
API Calling Description
Applicable group types
Group Type
Support for This RESTful API
Private
Yes. Same as work groups (Work) in the new version.
Public
Yes
ChatRoom
Yes. Same as meeting groups (Meeting) in the new version.
AVChatRoom
No
Community
Yes
Above are the built-in group types of the Chat service. For more information, see Group System.
Note
Audio-video groups (AVChatRoom) do not support importing group messages. If you attempt to import group messages for an audio-video group, error 10007 will be returned. Therefore, members of an audio-video group cannot view the messages sent before they join the group.
Sample request URL
https://xxxxxx/v4/group_open_http_svc/import_group_msg?sdkappid=88888888&identifier=admin&usersig=xxx&random=99999999&contenttype=json
Request parameters
The following table describes the modified parameters when this API is called. For other parameters, see RESTful API Overview.
Parameter
Description
xxxxxx
Domain name corresponding to the country/region where your SDKAppID is located.
China: console.tim.qq.com
Singapore: adminapisgp.im.qcloud.com
Seoul: adminapikr.im.qcloud.com
Frankfurt: adminapiger.im.qcloud.com
Silicon Valley: adminapiusa.im.qcloud.com
Jakarta: adminapiidn.im.qcloud.com
v4/group_open_http_svc/import_group_msg
Request API
sdkappid
SDKAppID assigned by the Chat console when an app is created
identifier
App admin account. For more information, see the App Admin section in Login Authentication.
usersig
Signature generated by the app admin account. For details, see Generating UserSig.
random
A random 32-bit unsigned integer ranging from 0 to 4294967295.
contenttype
Request format. The value is fixed to json.
Maximum call frequency
200 calls per second
Sample request
A single request can import up to seven group messages.
After messages are imported through this API, the unread message count for all members will become 0. To retain the unread message count, you need to import group members or set the unread message count for members after importing all messages.
The messages must be imported in ascending order by timestamp, and the timestamps of imported messages must be earlier than the current time, and later than the group creation time and the creation time of the latest message in the group. Otherwise, the import will fail.
