Returns the messages in one conversation, newest first, as a cursor-paginated list. They are the same messages the WhatsApp message list returns, already narrowed to this conversation's number and contact, so each one carries the content object it was built from and its current delivery status.

Filter by direction to read only what the contact sent or only what was sent to them. Pass the response's next_cursor back as starting_after for the next page.

Messages are retained for 30 days. When a conversation's last message expires, the conversation and its events are deleted too, and the conversation returns 404. The contact's next message starts a new conversation with a new ID. There is no way to read messages older than the window.
