The
Space resource
represents a place where people and Chat apps can send messages,
share files, and collaborate. There are several types of spaces:
- Direct messages (DMs) are conversations between two users or a user and a Chat app.
- Group chats are conversations between three or more users and Chat apps.
- Named spaces are persistent places where people send messages, share files, and collaborate.
With the Google Chat API, you can create, get, list, update, delete, or set up a space in Google Chat by calling corresponding methods. The guides in this section explain how to do the following:
- Create a space, a place where people and Chat apps can converse, share files, and collaborate.
- Set up a space to create it and then add people and Chat apps to it.
- Get details about a space to see its details, like its display name, description, and guidelines.
- List spaces to see a paginated, filterable list of spaces.
- Update a space to change its attributes, like its user-visible display name, description, and guidelines.
- Delete a space when it's no longer needed.
- Find a direct message space.
