session.history()

Read paged history for the current Session

session.history()

Example

const history = await session.history({
  limit: 50,
});

console.log(history.items);

What it returns

It returns a paged history object for the current session.

Common fields include:

  • history.session
  • history.view
  • history.items
  • history.total
  • history.nextCursor
  • history.hasMore

The default view is message.

If you want a flattened UI-oriented event stream, pass:

const history = await session.history({
  view: "timeline",
  limit: 100,
});

Good use cases

  • replaying a conversation in UI
  • loading only the latest page in a transcript or sidebar
  • debugging the current context
  • exporting session history

If you need to understand why a particular answer came out the way it did, message history is usually one of the first places worth inspecting.
