I've been browsing Twilio's docs and API reference but I was unable to find how long does the chat history is stored.
I don't have any own DB for storing messages as well as I don't have any other logic on my backend related to chat. I'm using Twilio to handle everything for me. I'm only using their client SDKs to interact.
Can anyone help me with that. Thanks in advance.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
My apologies for the delay from support getting back to you, but the good news is I have an answer for you.
At Twilio we store everything forever until you either:
Close your account
Delete the messages or channels yourself
Delete the entire service instance
So not fetching that from a database is the right choice in my opinion as it would potentially just add extra latency and logic into your code.
Hope this help yoiu.

hi guys I'm trying to add push notifications to my flutter app. I want them to be sent to specific users an hour before an event happens the time of the event will be stored in firebase by the user. I have been doing my research and I think need to write these conditions in a node.js file? I also want to send another notification if an entry is added which is pretty straight forward. However I only would want to send it to the users in the same area as the user who added the entry. In my flutter app I use geohashes and haversine to query firebase for the user in the same area would I need to do the same in the node.js file. I am having trouble finding some good examples if this correct please direct me to some better resources if not please help me better understand what I should be doing. Thank you
Your question's scope is wide but I will try to give you some kind of guideline for you to begin with.
First to set up an environment for firebase functions follow this, then there are different triggers for firebase functions like database write calls a function to be executed when new data is written to the database.
In your case when you add an event inside your trigger write some code to get the users near that area and send notifications, and to send the notifications you will need to get the token of every user when they login to your app and save it somewhere else.
For firebase functions, you need to know basic Javascript/TypeScript and for that, this video series of Doug Stevenson is very helpful. I recommend finishing the tutorial first.
I am very new to api.ai(Dialogflow). In my scenario i have to create a chat bot who should be able to update customer information in the real time database by taking the input from customer.
I am not sure how to do this. By some research i understood either by writing code in firebase function it is possible or by writing webhook and deploying to server.
But i am not understanding how to write the code. Any one can give any suggestions or any reference so that i can start coding.
I tried to write by seeing the weather webhook but did not understand this.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
The native application doesn't show all the activity, only the most recent.
Therefore I lose 70-90% of my notifications overnight. There must be a way to get all that historical data.
I told you can't, but, thinking.. you can. :)
The API don't provide that facility.. You can check all endpoints here: http://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/
But you can iterate over all your medias an get all comments and likes. If you store it locally, after, will be possible to request API again and check your new unseen interactions.
It will work for likes and comments.
So I want to use Dice.com's API to grab data for an infographic type application.
http://www.dice.com/common/content/documentation/api.html
My problem is they require a Developer ID and password. I'm not sure where I can get this since it's required for the OAuth token.
I plan on using Node.js to make requests to their RESTful service. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
I emailed dicemedia#dice.com (email grabbed from http://www.programmableweb.com/api/dice-jobs) and got a reply:
Thanks for your interest in the Dice API! It's currently not available
for public use. We've been field testing it at some events and hope
to open it up by the end of Q2 2015.
We'll definitely make an announcement when it opens up.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!
I found it pretty easy to get started hacking around with this using Postman (actually for searches you could just start in a browser, with a JSON plugin installed or the like).

I'm writing a bot in node.js using node-xmpp. So far it's pretty straight forward except I'm having an issue with figuring out how google Talk handles it's user authorization (when dealing with requesting to chat with someone NOT on your roster).
I'm catching all stanzas coming through and logging them to the console but there is no data coming from the user that is requesting authorization.
Any explanations of what I should be looking for or if this event even happens over the jabber protocol.
[appended] I know that technically when a subscription request is made a presence stanza is sent with the subscription request. I can't see these coming over the wire using node-xmpp for some reason. Also, I need to find out a way to determine what presence requests are "pending" when my bot logs in. I thought (innacurrately) that they would be listed in the roster with some sort of flag, but that's not correct.
Any help with finding out where to go from here would be useful.
Ok, I finally figured out how to get the subscription requests after they have been made. There isn't much info on it out there so I'll put together a blog post, but I feel that answering it here might be good as well.
I found that if I did a google roster query based on the below information:
http://code.google.com/apis/talk/jep_extensions/roster_attributes.html
example stanza:
<iq from="username#gmail.com/D2D4E5A8" type="get" id="google-roster-1"><query xmlns="jabber:iq:roster" xmlns:gr="google:roster" gr:ext="2"/></iq>
The server would respond first with your pending server subscription "presence" stanzas
ex:
<presence type="subscribe" from="pendinguser#gmail.com" to="namehere#gmail.com/D2D4E5A8" xmlns:stream="http://etherx.jabber.org/streams" xmlns="jabber:client"/>
and then the rest of your roster's "presence" stanzas. It's important to note that your subscription "presence" stanzas don't get sent to you from the server unless you do a roster query. I'm not sure why this is and why it's not documented somewhere is beyond me. Anyways, at least I can get the list of people trying to get access to my bot now.
Note: This is not my area of knowledge just an interest of mine. I have not got practical experience just a bit of research. This would have been a comment however doing some more searching on the topic, I have come up with some more things that might help.
Here's a google chat chat room homepage http://partychapp.appspot.com/ you can get the source http://code.google.com/p/partychapp/
Those links came from http://xmpp.org/2010/02/xmpp-roundup-13-services/ which has quite a few other resources that might be helpful.
http://code.google.com/p/node-xmpp-bosh/ has some code about that, I've not done it but the topic is interesting.
I hope if you do find the answer your after you write up a blog post and or a project and share it. It would be of interest to me.
