Retrieves a message thread using its ID. The message thread ID is provided in the webhook notification that is sent when the thread is created. This query provides the same details as the messageThreads query but for one thread only.
All message thread details are returned, including the messages themselves. You can limit the number of messages retrieved (up to 50) using the limit argument (on the messages object in the response). If more than 50 messages exist, you can retrieve the remaining messages using the cursor argument. And you can sort the messages (ascending or descending) using the orderBy argument. By default, messages are sorted in ascending order (from oldest to newest) based on the creation date.
The GraphQL explorer is provided for the example below. Use this interactive explorer to get comfortable with the sample query.
A test property ID is passed into the explorer for use by the query; its test data is returned.
Click Run Query to execute the query in the explorer on the page. You can modify the query to retrieve the desired fields, and the explorer provides a list of fields when you start typing.
Click API Explorer to launch the full explorer in another tab/window, which provides syntax highlighting, schema introspection, real-time error highlighting, and auto-completion, among other things.

cursor (type: String), which is the cursor value for this edge.
orderBy (type: MessageThreadMessagesOrderByInput), which provides the sort
order of results. If not specified, messages are sorted in ascending order
(from oldest to newest) based on the creation date.
For properties onboarded onto Expedia, this is the Expedia reservation ID. For
properties onboarded onto Vrbo, this is the Vrbo internal reservation UUID.
Whether the discount applied on the applicable night is recurring. For
example, if applicableNight is set to 3 and isRecurring is set to true,
the discount will be applied to the third, sixth, ninth nights (and so on).
Additional discount that is added to value for members only. For example, if
value is 10, unit is PERCENT, and memberOnlyAdditionalValue is 5,
members are offered 15 percent off.

Checks the consistency of the information in our systems at the property level
to determine whether the registration information is sufficient to fulfill the
requirements of the property's district. We do not recommend including this
field in the query because it does not provide the true value for some properties.
If false is returned for a unit, you can use the Product API to identify
active units, though false may be returned for inactive units that have
incorrect regulatory information.
Compliance status for mandatory requirements only (at the unit level)
according to the local jurisdiction's regulatory requirements. If invalid
information is provided for an optional regulatory requirement, or if
regulatory information is set in a jurisdiction that does not require
regulatory information, status: COMPLIANT is returned. For optional
requirements, a warning is returned in the warningStatus field of the
updateUnitRegistration mutation's payload.
Note: We strongly recommend that you include this field in your
implementation even though it is nullable. This field provides an audit trail
for reporting purposes.
Whether the jurisdiction requires registration information. Be aware that if a
jurisdiction requires a property owner to apply for a permit but there is no
requirement for us to collect or display the permit, this field will be set to
true (indicating that registration information is optional).

Field
Description
accessibilityText
Accessibility requests made by the guest for the reservation. We strongly
recommend that you include this field in your implementation.
Timestamp of when the reservation was created (format: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssTZD,
where TZD is a time zone designator in the form +/-hh:mm). Compare this value
to that of lastUpdatedDateTime to determine if a reservation has been modified.
ID of message thread (conversation) associated with the reservation. This
requires implementation and certification of the messaging capability. If no
message threads exist for a reservation, null is returned.
ID of the rate/rate plan and the source of the ID. In the response, when
idSource is set to SUPPLIER, the id field returns the same value as
returned by the existing booking APIs. However, for Hotel Collect properties,
the A- prefix is no longer added to the source value and the A suffix is no
longer appended to the rate ID as was done by the booking APIs.
Source of the reservation. Refer to Booking sources
for the list of possible values (though \"A-\" is not included in Hotel
Collect sources returned by this API).
Value add promotion(s) used to book the reservation, which are additional
benefits that travelers receive based on loyalty tier status, chosen property,
and room type or rate plan they book. If a value add promotion was not used,
an empty array is returned. We strongly recommend that you include this field
in your implementation to ensure traveler-promised perks can be properly
fulfilled by suppliers.
For properties onboarded onto Expedia, this is the partner’s confirmation ID for the booking.
For properties onboarded onto Vrbo, this is the partner’s supplier ID. This ID
may be prefixed with “HA-” to indicate a platform reservation. Two scenarios
account for this:
If the lodging partner was a former platform PM and has upcoming
reservations that were made prior to their conversion to integrated lodging partner.
The lodging partner uses using a third-party calendar sync application, such
as Hospitable, which may create platform bookings. To resolve this, the
partner must disable the third-party application.
Date and time when the reservation was last updated. Compare this value to
that of creationDateTime to determine if a reservation has been
modified.Example:
Resolution status values, which indicate the API's ability to determine if a checkpoint is fulfilled.
Name
Description
RESOLVED
Checkpoint was successfully evaluated.
UNRESOLVED_PROPERTY_NOT_PROVISIONED
API could not determine a fulfilled value because the property is missing from
our internal system. Retry the operation; this is typically caused by a
transient internal error. If the error persists, contact your Technical
Relationship Manager.
UNRESOLVED_CHECKPOINT_SYSTEM_UNAVAILABLE
API could not determine a fulfilled value because of an internal problem.
Retry the operation; this is typically caused by a transient internal error.
If the error persists, contact your Technical Relationship Manager.

Value of member-only discount applied. For example, if the regular discount is
10% and memberOnlyAdditionalValue is set to 5, a member will receive a 15%
discount and a non-member will receive a 10% discount.
Content requirement (checkpoint) that determines overall status. This field
provides an optional argument, checkpoints(filter: CheckpointFilterInput),
which enables you to filter the returned checkpoints by result. Refer to the
CheckpointFilterInput type for details.
Whether the checkpoint conditions were satisfied. If false, the content
requirement has not been met; verify that content is included in the Listings
integration file for processing.
Ordered list of parent checkpoint nodes in the status calculation tree. If you
need to reconstruct the tree, discover added context about a checkpoint, then
