# Get a single chat

`GET /chats/{userUuid}`

Returns the details of a single chat conversation between the authenticated user and the specified user, including read state, last message metadata, mute status, and unread message count.

This is the single-conversation counterpart to `GET /chats` and returns the same per-conversation shape for one chat.

## Path parameters

- `userUuid` string, uuid, required

## Headers

- `X-Fanvue-API-Version` string, required

## Response `200`

Chat conversation details

- object
  - `createdAt` string, date, nullable, required
  - `lastMessageAt` string, date, nullable, required — Date of the last message in this chat
  - `isRead` boolean, required — Whether the chat is read. Authoritative for unread badges: it is false either when unread messages exist or when the chat was manually marked unread via PATCH /chats/{userUuid}, in which case `unreadMessagesCount` stays 0.
  - `isMuted` boolean, required
  - `unreadMessagesCount` number, required — Number of messages in this chat the authenticated user has not read. 0 for a chat that was manually marked unread — use `isRead` for badge state.
  - `user` object, required
    - `uuid` string, uuid, required
    - `handle` string, required
    - `displayName` string, required

    - `sentAt` string, date, nullable, required
    - `hasMedia` boolean, nullable, required
    - `hasGif` boolean, required — Whether the last message is a GIF message. Its text may still be set as a caption. Fetch the message to get the GIF itself.

    - `senderUuid` string, uuid, required
    - `senderRole` 'FAN' | 'CREATOR' | 'AGENCY' | 'SYSTEM', required — Who sent the last message: CREATOR (the creator, sent directly), AGENCY (a team member sent it on the creator's behalf), FAN (the counterpart fan) or SYSTEM (an automated/platform message such as a subscription automation or KYC prompt).
    - `sentByUserId` string, uuid, nullable, required — UUID of the team member who sent the message on behalf of the creator, or null if sent directly by the creator
    - `status` 'Sent' | 'Delivered' | 'Read', nullable — Delivery status of the last message from the sender's perspective: Sent (still in flight), Delivered (sent but not yet read by the recipient) or Read. Null when the last message was received by the authenticated user (inbound).
  - `isCreator` boolean — Whether the chat counterpart is also a creator on the platform
  - `online` boolean — Whether the counterpart is currently online. Provided inline to avoid a separate /chats/statuses request.
