I there any RabbitMQ API to track the position of messages.

[The doc]

I've generated a random unique ID and included it in the headers, and placed it in the queue as a message ID. I tried to monitor the position of these messages by utilizing the basic_get method. I'm wondering if there are any built-in APIs available to retrieve the message's position within my RabbitMQ queue. Thanks in advance.

No. What would you like to know the position in the queue?

Best,

I'm trying to retrieve the message position, Is there any way to get the position of message in the queue if the position changes from 3, 2, and so on...

Trying to implement like a websocket between python and RabbitMQ (messages in a) queue.

The messages are placed on queue in order of arrival. Why are you trying to monitor their position?

I'm just trying to get the message position and manipulate/show it in UI using flask framework like {message : message_position}. Here the message is actual message/payload I sent in queue and the message_position is the position of that particular message.

The goal is to create a output that links each message sent to the queue with its respective position, enabling the presentation of this information in the UI.

|    Message      | Position |
|------------------------|---------------|
|    message1    | 1             |
|    message2    | 2             |
|    message3    | 3             |

Thanks.

It's not possible. In most systems the position of a given message will change many times per second and tracking that position would be unnecessary overhead.
