Messagesv4

Get a message

GET/chats/{chatId}/messages/{messageId}

Path parameters

chatIdRequiredstring

Unique identifier of the chat, prefixed with chat_. Returned by the List chats endpoint.

messageIdRequiredstring

Unique identifier of the message — the id returned when you send a message or by the List messages endpoint. Outbound messages use a msg_ id; inbound (received) messages use the id the List endpoint exposes for that row. Both are addressable.

Headers

AuthorizationRequiredstring

Your API key, sent as a bearer token: Authorization: Bearer <api_key>. Editing this stays in sync with the API key box on the right.

Bearer

Returns

dataoptionalMessage
idoptionalstring

Message id (msg_...).

chat_idoptionalstring
channel_idoptionalstring
channel_typeoptionalstring
"blooio""twilio""whatsapp""whatsapp_business""rcs_business"
protocoloptionalstring

Transport state or resolved wire service; never null. pending = accepted and dispatched, wire service not resolved yet; imessage / rcs / sms = the device-confirmed transport (iMessage blue bubble, RCS, or SMS/MMS green bubble); whatsapp = sent over WhatsApp; unknown = accepted but the transport could not be resolved before the tracking window closed (see error).

directionoptionalstring
"inbound""outbound"
typeoptionalstring

Content type, e.g. text, media, poll.

textoptionalstring | null
statusoptionalstring

Delivery lifecycle state: queued (accepted, awaiting dispatch), sent (handed to the channel; protocol resolves around here), delivered (delivery receipt received), read (read receipt received), failed (see error), superseded (row replaced by an idempotency retry or a poll-vote supersession). Inbound messages surface via the event feed / webhooks with received.

provider_message_idoptionalstring | null
reply_to_message_idoptionalstring | null
erroroptionalobject | null
attachmentsoptionalobject[]

Ordered attachments on the message. Each entry is retrievable directly: url (servable, decrypted URL — inbound Apple/ media is downloaded, decrypted, and re-hosted before this is populated), media_type (content type), size (bytes), and an optional caption. Always present (empty array when there are none). Matches the webhook attachments shape exactly.

Array of object

urloptionalstring | null
media_typeoptionalstring | null
sizeoptionalinteger | null
captionoptionalstring | null
interactiveoptionalobject

Structured interactive content, present on interactive messages. For an inbound reply this is the customer's actual selection (role: reply): kind (quick_reply/list_picker/time_picker/form/…), chosen (the selected option titles / time slots / flattened answers) and, for Form Messages, a structured responses array (per-page question + typed answers per §17.4) — not just a display string, and never null on an interactive reply. For an outbound send it is the prompt that was sent (role: prompt). The message's text remains a deterministic flattened convenience summary alongside this structure. This is the SAME object delivered on the message.received webhook, so a message reads identically via REST or webhook.

created_atoptionalinteger
updated_atoptionalinteger
