SMS export

Is there a way to export historical SMS data/content? I can see it within the app, but when I follow the instructions to request the export, the file doesn't contain the SMS information. Is this something the API tool would do for me?

How do I get access to the beta API? It doesn't seem to allow me past the fist step. To I need additional permission?

Maybe its not beta, but the "get message list API" you mentioned above.

Are you a developer? Do you mean a sandbox account to test?

I'm not the developer, but the product owner. I am trying to get my developer access.

You have not setup a sandbox account yet. Login https://developers/ringcentral.com with your production user login credentials and select the Console tab from the main menu. Look at the left hand-side pane you will see the Sandbox Accounts. Create one and set it up.

Thanks! We've created the account, selected sandbox, but there are no app to chose from in the drop down, so we can't run anything. What do we do from here?

Oh no, of course you have to create an app for your account. I don't really know how I can help if you are not a developer. So please read the dev guide to learn how to start.

You can use the message export API set to do the job. It allows you to export the entire account message store content. Read this blog for details. If you want to export data per extension, you have to use the get message list API instead.
