Retrieve raw conversation messages (not extracted memories)
get_messages() method retrieves the original conversation messages stored via add(). Unlike get() which returns extracted memory records, this returns the raw user/assistant message pairs.
from lyzr import Cognis
cog = Cognis()
messages = cog.get_messages(
owner_id="user_alice",
session_id="sess_001",
)
for msg in messages.get("messages", []):
print(f"[{msg['role']}] {msg['content']}")
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
owner_id | str | None | User/tenant scope |
session_id | str | None | Session scope |
agent_id | str | None | Agent scope |
limit | int | None | Max messages to return |
latest | bool | False | Return only the most recent messages |
cross_session | bool | False | Include messages from all sessions |
messages = cog.get_messages(
owner_id="user_alice",
session_id="sess_001",
limit=50,
)
messages = cog.get_messages(
owner_id="user_alice",
session_id="sess_001",
latest=True,
limit=10,
)
messages = cog.get_messages(
owner_id="user_alice",
cross_session=True,
limit=100,
)
messages = await cog.aget_messages(owner_id="user_alice", session_id="sess_001")
get_messages() is hosted-only. In the open-source lyzr-cognis package, raw messages are stored in SQLite and accessible via get_context() as part of the short-term memory.
