# GET /v1/{+parent}/messages

`GET /v1/{+parent}/messages`

Lists messages in a space that the caller is a member of, including messages from blocked members and spaces. System messages, like those announcing new space members, aren't included. If you list messages from a space with no messages, the response is an empty object. When using a REST/HTTP interface, the response contains an empty JSON object, `{}`. For an example, see [List messages](https://developers.google.com/workspace/chat/api/guides/v1/messages/list). Supports the following types of [authentication](https://developers.google.com/workspace/chat/authenticate-authorize): - [App authentication](https://developers.google.com/workspace/chat/authenticate-authorize-chat-app) with [administrator approval](https://support.google.com/a?p=chat-app-auth) with the authorization scope: - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.app.messages.readonly`. When using this authentication scope, this method only returns public messages in a space.
