retrieveArchivedPublicThreadChannels

@Nonnull
@CheckReturnValue
ThreadChannelPaginationAction retrieveArchivedPublicThreadChannels()

Retrieves the archived public ThreadChannels for this channel.
This will iterate over all previously opened public threads, that have been archived.

You can use retrieveArchivedPrivateThreadChannels(), to get all private archived threads.

These threads can also represent posts in ForumChannels.

Returns:

ThreadChannelPaginationAction to iterate over all public archived ThreadChannels

Throws:

InsufficientPermissionException - If the bot does not have Permission.MESSAGE_HISTORY in this channel

retrieveArchivedPrivateThreadChannels

@Nonnull
@CheckReturnValue
ThreadChannelPaginationAction retrieveArchivedPrivateThreadChannels()

Retrieves the archived private ThreadChannels for this channel.
This will iterate over all previously opened private threads, that have been archived. This is a moderator restricted method, since private threads are only visible to members with Permission.MANAGE_THREADS.

You can use retrieveArchivedPublicThreadChannels(), to get all public archived threads.

Note that ForumChannels cannot have private threads.

Returns:

ThreadChannelPaginationAction to iterate over all private archived ThreadChannels

Throws:

InsufficientPermissionException - If the bot does not have Permission.MESSAGE_HISTORY or Permission.MANAGE_THREADS in this channel

retrieveArchivedPrivateJoinedThreadChannels

@Nonnull
@CheckReturnValue
ThreadChannelPaginationAction retrieveArchivedPrivateJoinedThreadChannels()

Retrieves the archived private ThreadChannels for this channel, that the bot has previously joined or been added to.
Unlike retrieveArchivedPrivateThreadChannels(), this only checks for threads which the bot has joined, and thus does not require permissions to manage threads.

You can use retrieveArchivedPrivateThreadChannels(), to get all private archived threads.

Note that ForumChannels cannot have private threads.

Returns:

ThreadChannelPaginationAction to iterate over all joined private archived ThreadChannels

Throws:

InsufficientPermissionException - If the bot does not have Permission.MESSAGE_HISTORY in this channel
