How to fetch all messages between two users in ejabberd through REST API

I'm currently working on integrating one to one chat in a web application using ejabberd.

I have tried to send message through send_message api to the user1 from user2.

POST /api/send_message
{
  "type": "headline",
  "from": "user2@localhost",
  "to": "user1@localhost",
  "subject": "Testing",
  "body": "Sample message from user2"
}

When I opened pidgin I could see the message from user2. I received 0 as response which means success (as mentioned in the documentation).

Until I opened pidgin and see the message, The message has been treated as offline message. I could see that from the admin panel.

Now my question is How could I fetch all the messages between the user1 and user2 through a REST API endpoint? Like how we use send_message endpoint to send message to an user from a different user.
