Feature request: Team chat API

[Siderite]

I propose a new parameter "withMessagesFrom" to https://lichess.org/api#tag/Teams/operation/teamOfUsername in which only the teams which have chat messages sent after that timestamp are listed.

A way to delete a specific message as team leader would be nice, too.

In fact, team pages have a toggle under the chat "Subscribe to team messages" but it doesn't seem to do anything. There are no notifications I have ever received about that. Maybe it's a bug. Or does it apply only to the messages sent through the mass message mechanism?

Is the intent to poll the endpoint to check for new chat messages? Polling to check for updates is almost always a bad idea.

Team leaders can already moderate their team chats.

it is about mass DMs.

Maybe I didn't go too far into the interface. All I found was banning a person. Will look better.

Well, there is a WS message sent when a new chat message arrives, but only if you are on the team page. Also if you just log in you have no idea if anyone said anything on the team chats and which teams.

Perhaps an integration of the normal inbox chat would work. Like you get a notification that someone has been said in a team chat, you use the same page, messages there are sent to all members of the team, you can mute individual team. My point is that the team chat is a poor communication mechanism compared to person to person chat.

It is.
