Hi dhx-ds ,

can you share your API request (or at least an example of them)? Which message attributes do you use to identify messages as spam?

    SELECT+id,+board.id,+topic.id,+author.login,+subject,+body,+is_solution,+view_href,+post_time+FROM+messages+WHERE+id+%3d+'<MESSAGE_ID>'

     

    Our spam messages are moved to a moderation and then quarantined. I am able to see them in the browser using the message id, but can't get them via the API.  Any thoughts?

      Query looks ok (I guess the '+' signs are from an encoded string^^).

      What does your term "messages are quarantined" mean in detail? Are those messages moved to specific board?

      If this is the case I propose to add the board.id as and additional constraint to improve your search results.

      Did you already test your query in the API Browser in Studio?
