Is it possible to fetch all messages with a certain `custom_type`?

I’m wondering if it’s possible to filter messages with a certain custom_type.
The search API doesn’t seem to work without providing a query parameter.

Hey @GoGo7,

Message search does not currently support filtering messages by custom_type.
Additionally, query is a required parameter and can not be left out.

An alternative you could use is to list the messages using the GET /v3/{channel_type}/{channel_url}/messages endpoint.

The list message feature is limited to a specific channel, and if you wanted to search across multiple channels, you would need to make multiple queries.

You can find out more about the endpoint here: https://sendbird.com/docs/chat/v3/platform-api/guides/messages#2-list-messages.
