REST API v4: GET destination/message body (drag and drop template)

You can retrieve the message body sent to a destination with an HTTP GET call to the URL corresponding to the desired output format. The URL always included the $id, which is the unique string that identifies a message.

Depending on the format the output looks different. MIME includes all the headers for example, while text only shows the plain text. Include the desired type in the URL. The default return format is HTML.

Note: The terms 'destination' and 'message' can be used interchangeably in this article, including the code examples.

HTML

HTML stands for HyperText Language Markup/internet markup. To retrieve the HTML message body you can send a request to the following URL:

https://api.copernica.com/v4/draganddrop/destination/$id/body

or the following URL:

https://api.copernica.com/v4/draganddrop/destination/$id/body/html

MIME

Mime is the internet standard for email. To retrieve the email in MIME format you can send the request to the following URL:

https://api.copernica.com/v4/draganddrop/destination/$id/body/mime

Text

It's also possible to request the message body in plain text. The corresponding URL for this request is:

https://api.copernica.com/v4/draganddrop/destination/$id/body/text

PHP example

To request the message body you can use a script like the one below:

// import the helper class
require_once('CopernicaRestAPI.php');

// change this into your access token
$api = new CopernicaRestAPI("your-access-token", 4);

// retrieve the message body in the default format (HTML in this case)
print_r($api->get("draganddrop/destination/1044554/body"));

// retrieve the message body in HTML
print_r($api->get("draganddrop/destination/1044554/body/HTML"));

// retrieve the message body in MIME format
print_r($api->get("draganddrop/destination/1044554/body/mime"));

// retrieve the message body in text format
print_r($api->get("draganddrop/destination/1044554/body/text"));

The example above requires the CopernicaRestApi class.
