# Get message log

GET https://%7BYour_Space_Name%7D.signalwire.com/api/messaging/logs/{id}

Retrieves one historical messaging record by log ID. Use it to inspect delivery details for a known message segment; this read-only endpoint does not send, retry, or redact the message. Use [List message logs](/docs/apis/rest/message-logs/list-message-logs) to discover log IDs or [Send a message](/docs/apis/rest/messages/create-message) for live messaging.

#### Permissions

The API token used to authenticate must have the following scope(s) enabled to make a successful request: _Messaging_.

[Learn more about API scopes](/docs/platform/your-signalwire-api-space).

Reference: https://signalwire.com/docs/apis/rest/message-logs/get-message-log

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (basic auth, required) — SignalWire Basic Authentication using Project ID and API Token. The client sends HTTP requests with the Authorization header containing the word Basic followed by a space and a base64-encoded string of project_id:token. The project ID will be used as the username and the API token as the password. Example: ``` Authorization: Basic base64(project_id:token) ```

## Request

### Path parameters

- `id` (string, required) — Unique ID of the log.

## Response

### 200

The request has succeeded.

- `id` (string, required) — A unique identifier for the log.

  - Allowed values: `queued`, `initiated`, `delivered`, `sent`, `received`, `undelivered`, `failed`
- `direction` (enum, required) — The direction of the message.
  - Allowed values: `inbound`, `outbound`, `outbound-api`, `outbound-call`, `outbound-reply`
- `kind` (enum, required) — The kind of message.
  - Allowed values: `sms`, `mms`
- `source` (enum, required) — Source of this log entry.
  - Allowed values: `realtime_api`, `laml`
- `type` (enum, required) — Type of this log entry.
  - Allowed values: `relay_message`, `laml_message`

- `created_at` (datetime, required) — Date and time when the message entry was created.
- `error_message` (string, required, nullable) — Description of the error when the message failed. Null when the message did not fail. LaML messages use the codes documented at https://signalwire.com/docs/compatibility-api/rest/error-codes.
- `error_code` (string, required, nullable) — Error code identifying why the message failed. Null when the message did not fail. Some Relay messages may have an `error_message` without an `error_code` — the `error_code` is a newer pattern that is not used in all Relay areas.
