Description

The message FQL table. Query this table to return information about messages in a thread. The user needs to grant the calling application the read_mailbox extended permission.

To structure your query, use the table name (message in this case) in the FROM clause. The items in the Name column correspond to columns in the table that can be referenced in the SELECT and WHERE clauses.

In order to make your query indexable, the WHERE in your query should contain an = or IN clause for one of the columns marked with a * in the Indexable column of the table.

Columns

Indexable	Name	Type	Description
*	message_id	string	A unique ID for the message being queried.
*	thread_id	int	The ID of the thread the message belongs to.
	author_id	int	The ID of the user who wrote this message.
	body	string	The content of the message.
	created_time	int	The time the message was sent.
	attachment	array	An array of information about the attachment to the message. This is the attachment that Facebook returns.
	viewer_id	int	The ID of the user whose Inbox you are querying. Defaults to session user.
