# List Chat Messages (/api-reference/fanvue/chat-messages/list-chat-messages)

Page a chat's message history. Proxies Fanvue's `GET /v1/chats/{userUuid}/messages`, which pages with dates rather than an opaque cursor: pass the `dateFilter` returned with the previous page back as `sentBefore` and `receivedBefore` to fetch older messages. A `null` `dateFilter` means there are no more.
