how can i get timestamps for the chat transcript?

Thanks for reaching out, Kush. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
In LiveKit, the ChatMessage interface includes a
timestamp
property that records when a chat message was sent. Additionally, there is an optional
editTimestamp
property that records when a message was edited. These timestamps are part of the ChatMessage interface structure, which also includes other properties like message content and attached files. Sources: ChatMessage | LiveKit JS Client SDK - v2.8.1

here is my code: @session.on("close") def *on_close*(_ev_: CloseEvent): print(f"Agent Session closed, reason:") print("=" * 20) print("Chat History:") print(session.history) for item in session.history.items: if item.type == "message": content = item.text_content.replace('\n', '\\n') text = f"{item.role}: {content}" if item.interrupted: text += " (interrupted)" print(text) print("=" * 20)

Thank you for sharing your code! Based on your implementation, you are accessing the session history using
session.history
. Each item in the history is a
ChatMessage
object, which includes properties like
role
,
text_content
, and
interrupted
. If you want to include timestamps for each message, you can access the
timestamp
property of each
ChatMessage
object. This will allow you to print the time when each message was sent. For example, you can modify your loop to include:
Copy code
for item in session.history.items:
    if item.type == "message":
        content = item.text_content.replace('\n', '\n')
        text = f"{item.role}: {content} (Timestamp: {item.timestamp})"
        if item.interrupted:
            text += " (interrupted)"
        print(text)
This will display the timestamp for each message in your chat history. Sources: Events and error handling | LiveKit Docs | Workflows | LiveKit Docs | Session recording and transcripts | LiveKit Docs

Got this error raise AttributeError(f'{type(self).name!r} object has no attribute {item!r}') AttributeError: 'ChatMessage' object has no attribute 'timestamp'

The error indicates that the
ChatMessage
object in your implementation does not have a
timestamp
attribute. This could be due to a version mismatch or a different implementation of the
ChatMessage
class in your environment. To resolve this, please check the following: • Ensure that you are using the latest version of the LiveKit SDK, as the
timestamp
attribute is expected to be part of the
ChatMessage
class. • Verify the structure of the
ChatMessage
object in your environment by inspecting its attributes or referring to the documentation for your specific SDK version. • If the
timestamp
attribute is not available, you may need to manually add timestamps when messages are created or use an alternative method to track message times. If you continue to encounter issues, please let me know, and I can assist further. Sources: livekit.rtc.chat API documentation | ChatMessage | LiveKit JS Client SDK - v2.8.1
