## Instance Methods

Close httplib2 connections.

Lists messages that belong to a given conversation. `messages` are ordered by `create_time` in descending order. To fetch updates without duplication, send request with filter `create_time_epoch_microseconds > [first item's create_time of previous request]` and empty page_token.

Retrieves the next page of results.

### Method Details

    Close httplib2 connections.

`list(parent, filter=None, pageSize=None, pageToken=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Lists messages that belong to a given conversation. `messages` are ordered by `create_time` in descending order. To fetch updates without duplication, send request with filter `create_time_epoch_microseconds > [first item's create_time of previous request]` and empty page_token.

    Args:
      parent: string, Required. The name of the conversation to list messages for. Format: `projects//locations//conversations/` (required)
      filter: string, Optional. Filter on message fields. Currently predicates on `create_time` and `create_time_epoch_microseconds` are supported. `create_time` only support milliseconds accuracy. E.g., `create_time_epoch_microseconds > 1551790877964485` or `create_time > 2017-01-15T01:30:15.01Z`. For more information about filtering, see [API Filtering](https://aip.dev/160).
      pageSize: integer, Optional. The maximum number of items to return in a single page. By default 100 and at most 1000.
      pageToken: string, Optional. The next_page_token value returned from a previous list request.
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
        Allowed values
          1 - v1 error format
          2 - v2 error format

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # The response message for Conversations.ListMessages.
      "messages": [ # The list of messages. There will be a maximum number of items returned based on the page_size field in the request. `messages` is sorted by `create_time` in descending order.
        { # Represents a message posted into a conversation.
          "content": "A String", # Required. The message content.
          "createTime": "A String", # Output only. The time when the message was created.
          "languageCode": "A String", # Optional. The message language. This should be a [BCP-47](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt) language tag. Example: "en-US".
          "messageAnnotation": { # Represents the result of annotation for the message. # Output only. The annotation for the message.
            "containEntities": True or False, # Indicates whether the text message contains entities.
            "parts": [ # The collection of annotated message parts ordered by their position in the message. You can recover the annotated message by concatenating [AnnotatedMessagePart.text].
              { # Represents a part of a message possibly annotated with an entity. The part can be an entity or purely a part of the message between two entities or message start/end.
                "entityType": "A String", # The [Dialogflow system entity type](https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/docs/reference/system-entities) of this message part. If this is empty, Dialogflow could not annotate the phrase part with a system entity.
                "formattedValue": "", # The [Dialogflow system entity formatted value ](https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/docs/reference/system-entities) of this message part. For example for a system entity of type `@sys.unit-currency`, this may contain: { "amount": 5, "currency": "USD" }
                "text": "A String", # A part of a message possibly annotated with an entity.
              },
            ],
          },
          "name": "A String", # The unique identifier of the message. Format: `projects//locations//conversations//messages/`.
          "participant": "A String", # Output only. The participant that sends this message.
          "participantRole": "A String", # Output only. The role of the participant.

    }

`list_next(previous_request, previous_response)`

    Retrieves the next page of results.

    Args:
      previous_request: The request for the previous page. (required)
      previous_response: The response from the request for the previous page. (required)

    Returns:
      A request object that you can call 'execute()' on to request the next
