List Sent Messages

Deprecation Notice

The XML API is only fully functional on LiquidFiles v2.x that is End of Life and End of Support.

This XML API has been deprecated in favour of the JSON API that's available in LiquidFiles v3.x onwards.

This API was last added in v2.6.21, please make sure you're running at least this version for all functions to work.

When viewing the sent messages, you can view the list if available messages, or view an individual message. Viewing the individual message will also view the files attached to the message.

Example using Curl

curl -s -X GET --user "$api_key:x" -H 'Content-Type: text/xml' https://test.host/sent/1p4EHkeNzM5b2qO7kyNEIy

	<message>
	  <id>1p4EHkeNzM5b2qO7kyNEIy</id>
	  <sender>user@example.com</sender>
	  <recipients type="array">
	    <recipient>recipient@customer.com</recipient>
	  </recipients>
	  <created_at type="datetime">2011-07-09 06:51:07</created_at>
	  <expires_at type="date">2011-07-23</expires_at>
	  <authorization>3</authorization>
	  <authorization_description>Only Specified Recipients can download</authorization_description>
	  <subject>test</subject>
	  <message>test</message>
	  <attachments>
	    <attachment>
	      <filename>secret_image.jpg</filename>
	      <size type="integer">18866</size>
	      <content_type>image/jpeg</content_type>      
              <checksum>8c206a1a87599f532ce68675536f0b1546900d7a</checksum>     
              <crc32>9eca2acc</crc32>
	      <url>https://test.host/message/1p4EHkeNzM5b2qO7kyNEIy/ZfYoatTMcYQLX0qUutOate/A3ohjLyybRyFMj9x65KbzE/secret_image.jpg</url>
	    </attachment>
	  </attachments>
	</message>

In this example, there's one available attachment. Using the URL, you can download the file. Again, using curl:

curl -s -X GET --user "$api_key:x" -H 'Content-Type: text/xml' https://test.host/message/1p4EHkeNzM5b2qO7kyNEIy/ZfYoatTMcYQLX0qUutOate/A3ohjLyybRyFMj9x65KbzE/secret_image.jpg

Please note that the URL is a one time URL and it will expire after the file has been downloaded. It's not possible to link to individual files without viewing the message.
