Overview
This node interacts with the Pickaxe API, specifically allowing users to retrieve historical conversation data related to a selected Pickaxe form. It is useful for scenarios where you want to analyze or process past interactions collected via Pickaxe forms, such as customer feedback, support conversations, or survey responses.
A practical example would be fetching the last 10 conversations from a specific Pickaxe form to perform sentiment analysis or generate reports on user engagement.

Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the retrieved conversation history from the Pickaxe API. Each item in the output corresponds to a conversation record associated with the selected Pickaxe form.
The output does not include binary data; it focuses on structured JSON representing conversation details such as timestamps, messages, and metadata as provided by the Pickaxe service.
