# `bird whatsapp reaction list-events`

## Usage

```bash
bird whatsapp reaction list-events <message-id> [flags]
```

## Description

Get every change made to one WhatsApp message's reactions, newest first, as a cursor page ({data, next\_cursor, …}): each emoji placed, each one replaced by another, and each one taken back, by the contact and by this workspace alike. Entries carry a status, so a reaction WhatsApp refused is visible here with its error. Use whatsapp\_get and read the message's `reactions` instead for what currently stands.

Returns a paginated JSON envelope; narrow with the filters below and page with --limit and --starting-after.

## Examples

```bash
bird whatsapp reaction list-events <message-id>
bird whatsapp reaction list-events <message-id> | jq -r '.data[].id'
bird whatsapp reaction list-events <message-id> --limit 50 --starting-after <cursor>
```

| `--ending-before`  | Cursor from the prev\_cursor or refresh\_cursor field of a previous list response.
