Conversation Message Resource
API Base URL
All URLs in the reference documentation use the following base URL:
https://conversations.twilio.com/v1Using the shortened base URL
Using the REST API, you can interact with Conversation Message resources in the default Conversation Service instance via a "shortened" URL that does not include the Conversation Service instance SID ("ISXXX..."). If you are only using one Conversation Service (the default), you do not need to include the Conversation Service SID in your URL, e.g.
GET /v1/Conversations/CHxx/Messages
For Conversations applications that build on more than one Conversation Service instance, you will need to specify the Conversation Service SID in the REST API call:
GET /v1/Services/ISxx/Conversations/CHxx/MessagesConversationMessage properties
