The Courier Messages API lets you get the rendered output of any Courier notification in your send history using the “Get Message Content” endpoint.

To fetch the content for a given message there are two API calls that you need to make

  1. Fetch message history using GET /messages/:message_id/history and the message ID that was returned in response to your send command.

  2. Fetch message content using a root-relative URL

​
Fetch Message History

Message history can be fetched by calling the history endpoint or by calling the getMessageHistory function in our SDKs.

Message history will contain a RENDERED event that contains links to the rendered output for the message.

Fetch Message Content

The output section in the history response contains the root-relative URL that can be used to fetch the content that was rendered and sent to the provider. The output url must be appended to the Courier API host (https://api.courier.com).

Here is an example of a rendered push event:
