# Get message center data

The getMessageCenterData method allows you to retrieve the pushes that you sent to your users in the past three months in a defined range and quantity.

| Parameter | Data Type |
| --- | --- |
| limit | Integer |
| startDate | Date |
| endDate | Date |

Make sure that you pass the values for *startDate* and *endDate* in **timestamps**.

## getMessageCenterData for logged in users

### Method signature

```javascript
static getMessageCenterData(limit: number, startDate: Date, endDate: Date, callback: Function)
```

### Method example

```javascript
RNInsider.getMessageCenterData(10, startDate, endDate, function (data) { })
```

The getMessageCenterData method functions with a user-based mechanism. For example, if user A and user B log into the app on the same device, each user will see the push notifications they received.

## Retrieve data with custom identifiers

You can also retrieve Message Center data for related users (e.g., child accounts under a parent account) by passing an RNInsiderIdentifier object. When identifiers are provided, the SDK sends the specified identifiers instead of the current user's Insider ID.

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| limit | Number | Maximum number of notifications to return |
| startDate | Date | Start date for the notification query range |
| endDate | Date | End date for the notification query range |
| identifiers | RNInsiderIdentifier | User identifiers to query notifications for a specific user |
| callback | Function | Callback that receives the resulting message center data array |

### Method signature

```javascript
static getMessageCenterDataWithIdentifiers(
    limit: number,
    startDate: Date,
    endDate: Date,
    identifiers: RNInsiderIdentifier,
    callback: (messageCenterData: any) => void
  ): void
```

### Method example

```javascript
const identifiers = new RNInsiderIdentifier()
    .addEmail('child@insiderone.com')
    .addPhoneNumber('+905551234567')
    .addUserID('unique-user-id')
    .addCustomIdentifier('account_id', 'parent-account-123')

  const end = new Date()
  const start = new Date(end.getTime() - 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) // 30 days ago

  RNInsider.getMessageCenterDataWithIdentifiers(50, start, end, identifiers,
  (messageCenterData) => {
    // Handle the message center data for the specified user
    console.log(`Fetched ${messageCenterData.length} messages`)
  })
```

If the provided RNInsiderIdentifier contains no identifiers, the SDK automatically falls back to the current user's Insider ID. Passing **null** or **undefined** for any parameter causes the call to be skipped with a parameter validation warning.
