# Reference: get message

## Endpoint

`GET /v1/messages/{messageID}`

Get one message record by ID.

## Path parameter

- **`field`** `string` *(required)* — Message UUID.

**Request example:**

```bash cURL
curl -X GET "https://api.wazapin.com/v1/messages/9f1fd66d-c37a-4b50-a8c2-b4dca523f9c8" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"
```

**Response example:**

```json 200 Success
{
  "id": "9f1fd66d-c37a-4b50-a8c2-b4dca523f9c8",
  "channel_id": "wzp_abc123",
  "to_phone": "6281234567890",
  "type": "text",
  "status": "sent",
  "provider_message_id": "wamid.HBgL...",
  "created_at": "2026-03-04T06:20:10Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-03-04T06:20:20Z"
}
```

`to_phone` is the recipient address stored on the message. For unofficial channels it may be a WhatsApp JID (for example `6281234567890@c.us`); use `to` for display-friendly input when sending.

```json 404 Not Found
{
  "title": "Not Found",
  "status": 404,

}
```
