# Update Settings

> Configure Leboncoin Messages Reader settings

export const AccountSyncRequired = ({platform}) => <Note>
    This scraper requires a synced {platform} account. <a href="/docs/link-account-to-squid">Link one to your squid</a> before running.
  </Note>;

Configure your **Leboncoin Messages Reader** squid settings.

<AccountSyncRequired platform="Leboncoin" />

## Headers

<ParamField header="Authorization" type="string" required>
  Your API authentication token. Value: `Token YOUR_API_KEY`
</ParamField>

<ParamField header="Content-Type" type="string" required>
  Must be application/json. Value: `application/json`
</ParamField>

## Squid Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
| - | - | - | - |
| received\_only | boolean | false | Collect only the messages written by the other party. When false, the messages sent by the connected account are collected too, as the context of the reply. |
| unread\_only | boolean | false | Collect only the conversations that have at least one unread message at run time. Reading messages with this crawler never marks them as read. |
| fetch\_since | string | — | Only collect messages sent after this threshold (based on `message_sent_at`). Use a relative duration (`24h`, `7d`, `2w`) or an absolute date (`YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS`). Conversations whose last message is older than the threshold are skipped entirely. |
| fetch\_since\_timezone | string | — | Timezone for interpreting an absolute `fetch_since` date (e.g. `Europe/Paris`). Ignored for relative values. |
| max\_results | integer | — | Maximum number of messages to collect per task. Leave empty to collect every message found. |
| max\_unique\_results\_per\_run | integer | — | Maximum number of unique results retrieved across all tasks in the entire run. Leave empty for unlimited. |
