Fetch Media by Media ID

Introduction to SMSGatewayCenter APIs

Welcome to SMSGatewayCenter’s API documentation hub! This guide introduces the Read by Media ID API, a key feature in our messaging suite, including SMS API for bulk messaging, WhatsApp Business API for customer engagement, Voice Call API for automated alerts, and Two-Way SMS API for interactive communication. This API supports both POST and GET methods over HTTP, enabling you to fetch a specific media file by its media ID from the WhatsApp Business Cloud API library. Ideal for developers in India, manage your media efficiently with our SMS gateway at unify.smsgatewaycenter.com/signup/!

Use the Read by Media ID API to retrieve details and metadata of a specific media file (e.g., images, videos, documents) uploaded to WhatsApp’s cloud servers, using its unique media ID. This endpoint enhances your WhatsApp Business operations by allowing you to inspect or manage individual media assets for customer communications, with support for secure access and metadata retrieval.
