Before we start...

  • I've searched existing issues, but my problem hasn't been reported yet.
  • I've read the documentation (including notes on error messages and rate limiting), but my problem is something else.
  • I've tested the behaviour on Skype for Web, and it works there but not with SkPy.

Summary

Testing has found that it is not possible to obtain the oldest Skype historical messages, but complete historical messages can be seen on both mobile phones and computers

Code sample

from skpy import Skype
sk = Skype("username","pwd")

ch = sk.contacts["friend_id"].chat
ch.getMsgs()

Code output

artial historical news

I seem to have found a problem. Have you set the maximum message window to 30

As described in the guide and reference docs, you need to call getMsgs() repeatedly in order to page through older messages.
