For most methods related to message sending, there is one version of the method for a user and one for a group: To send or retract a typing notification, you might do: To send an attachment such as an image or a video, you can do the following: It is easy to receive events such as incoming messages using the ReadEvent method: With the EventStream API, you can get more fine-grained control over how you receive events. For example, you can read the next minute's worth of events like so: You can also create multiple EventStreams and read from different streams in different places. To list the threads (conversations) a user is in, you can use the Threads method to fetch a subset of threads at a time. For example, you can print out the IDs of every thread as follows:
