List a User's Conversations

In this code snippet you will see how to get a list of Conversations a User is associated with.

Example

Ensure the following variables are set to your required values using any convenient method:

Key	Description
`USER_ID`	The unique ID of the User.

Prerequisites

Use your existing application

You will need to use an existing Application containing at least one Conversation and one User in order to see a list of a User's Conversations. See the Create Conversation code snippet for information on how to create an Application and a Conversation. See also the Create User code snippet on how to create a User.

Add the following to list-user-conversations.sh:

curl "https://api.nexmo.com/beta/users/$USER_ID/conversations" \
     -H 'Authorization: Bearer '$JWT\
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
