Returns one language of one version: its content blocks, what this version's submission did with it, and everything Meta holds about it: review outcome and category.

参数

template_refstring

Template ID (wat_ prefix) or slug. A value that parses as a valid ID resolves by ID; any other value resolves as a slug.

version_idstring

ID of the template version (wav_ prefix), as returned by the version list.

languagestring

The language, as a BCP-47 tag. Case and separator variance is accepted and normalised, and the canonical form is returned.

响应载荷

language
string
必填

The canonical tag this language is addressed by.

components
array of object
必填

This language's content blocks, in display order, exactly as submitted or as they stand in the draft.

显示子属性
components.type
string
必填

The content block's type within the template.

Possible values (may grow over time): header, body, footer, buttons, carousel

components.format
string

The header block's content type. Present on a header block. A text header carries a line of copy. The image, video, gif, and document formats each show a file whose address is in the block's example_parameters. The location format shows a map. It carries no content because the coordinates belong to the message rather than the template.

Possible values (may grow over time): text, image, video, gif, document, location

components.text
string

The block's text content, with any variable placeholders shown inline. Present when the block carries text. An authentication template's body and footer are written by WhatsApp from the two settings below rather than by you, so their text is absent until the language has been submitted and WhatsApp has supplied it.

components.add_security_recommendation
boolean

Whether this authentication template's body ends with WhatsApp's advice not to share the code. Present on an authentication template's body block.

components.code_expiration_minutes
integer

How long the passcode stays valid, which WhatsApp states in this footer. Present on an authentication template's footer block. Omitting it on a write leaves the footer off entirely.

components.example_parameters
array of object

Example values for this block's variables, in placeholder order (one per {{n}}). Use them to see what a filled message looks like. Present when the block has variables.

显示子属性
components.example_parameters.type
string
必填

The kind of value this parameter accepts.

components.example_parameters.text
string

An example value for a text parameter. Present when type is text.

components.example_parameters.url
string

The address of the file a media header shows, as it was given when the header was authored rather than WhatsApp's copy of it. Present when type is image, video, gif or document.

components.example_parameters.name
string

The named placeholder this example fills. Present whenever the template declares named parameters, which is what a send must name; absent only for a positional template, whose values go in {{n}} order.

components.buttons
array of object

The buttons attached to this block. Present when the block carries buttons.

显示子属性
components.buttons.type
string
必填

The button's behavior.

  • url: opens a link.
  • quick_reply: sends its own label back to you as an inbound message.
  • phone_number: dials the number it carries.
  • otp: copies a one-time passcode. It belongs only on an authentication template, and that template takes no other button type.
  • copy_code: copies a coupon code to the recipient's clipboard. It belongs only on a marketing template, which takes at most one.
  • request_contact_info: asks the recipient to share the phone number their WhatsApp account carries. It belongs only on a utility or marketing template, as that template's only button.

This is an open enum. Accept unrecognized values.

Possible values (may grow over time): url, quick_reply, phone_number, otp, copy_code, request_contact_info

components.buttons.otp_type
string

How the recipient receives the one-time passcode. Present on authentication-template OTP buttons.

Possible values (may grow over time): copy_code

components.buttons.text
string

The button's label. Absent on an authentication template's passcode button until the language has been submitted, since WhatsApp writes that label itself. Absent on a request_contact_info draft for a related reason: WhatsApp fixes that label, so a draft that carried it reads back without it. Once the language is submitted, this carries the label WhatsApp wrote, which is Share Contact Info in every language today.

components.buttons.url
string

The address the button opens, with any variable placeholder shown inline. Present on link buttons.

components.buttons.phone_number
string

The number the button dials. Present on dial buttons.

components.buttons.example_parameters
array of object

Example values for this button's variables, in placeholder order. Present when the button address has variables, and on a copy_code button, where the single value is the sample coupon code WhatsApp reviewed.

显示子属性
components.buttons.example_parameters.type
string
必填

The kind of value this parameter accepts.

components.buttons.example_parameters.text
string

An example value for a text parameter. Present when type is text.

components.buttons.example_parameters.url
string

The address of the file a media header shows, as it was given when the header was authored rather than WhatsApp's copy of it. Present when type is image, video, gif or document.

components.buttons.example_parameters.name
string

The named placeholder this example fills. Present whenever the template declares named parameters, which is what a send must name; absent only for a positional template, whose values go in {{n}} order.

components.cards
array of object

The cards this block scrolls through, in display order. Present on a carousel block.

显示子属性

必填

The kind of value this parameter accepts.

string

The address of the file a media header shows, as it was given when the header was authored rather than WhatsApp's copy of it. Present when type is image, video, gif or document.

components.cards.components.example_parameters.name
string

The named placeholder this example fills. Present whenever the template declares named parameters, which is what a send must name; absent only for a positional template, whose values go in {{n}} order.

string

The button's label. Absent on an authentication template's passcode button until the language has been submitted, since WhatsApp writes that label itself. Absent on a request_contact_info draft for a related reason: WhatsApp fixes that label, so a draft that carried it reads back without it. Once the language is submitted, this carries the label WhatsApp wrote, which is Share Contact Info in every language today.

The address the button opens, with any variable placeholder shown inline. Present on link buttons.

components.cards.components.buttons.phone_number
string

The number the button dials. Present on dial buttons.

显示子属性
components.cards.components.buttons.example_parameters.type
string
必填

The kind of value this parameter accepts.

components.cards.components.buttons.example_parameters.text
string

An example value for a text parameter. Present when type is text.

components.cards.components.buttons.example_parameters.url
string

The address of the file a media header shows, as it was given when the header was authored rather than WhatsApp's copy of it. Present when type is image, video, gif or document.

components.cards.components.buttons.example_parameters.name
string

The named placeholder this example fills. Present whenever the template declares named parameters, which is what a send must name; absent only for a positional template, whose values go in {{n}} order.

status
string

What this submission did with this language. Absent on a draft, which has not been submitted. On a superseded version this is history: how that submission went. It does not report whether the language is sendable now.

Possible values (may grow over time): approved, pending, rejected, paused, disabled, in_appeal, pending_deletion, limit_exceeded, archived, deleted, submit_failed, outcome_unknown

revision
integer
必填

This language's write counter, incremented every time its content changes. It sits at 1 on content that has never been written through this API, which is every built-in template's language.

content_hash
string
必填
category
string

The category Meta is applying to this language, which is what messages from it are priced at.

Possible values (may grow over time): authentication, utility, marketing

previous_category
string

The category this language held before Meta moved it.

Possible values (may grow over time): authentication, utility, marketing

quality
object

Meta's quality rating for this language. Present only on the version currently in service, and only once Meta has rated it.

显示子属性
quality.current_score
string
必填

Meta's rating for this language as of updated_at.

Possible values (may grow over time): green, yellow, red, unknown

quality.previous_score
string

The rating this language held before the most recent change. Absent when Meta has rated it only once. Usually differs from current_score, but Meta sometimes reports both as the same value, so compare timestamps rather than assuming a transition.

Possible values (may grow over time): green, yellow, red, unknown

quality.updated_at
string
必填

When the rating last changed. A re-evaluation that lands on the same rating does not move it, so this answers how long the language has held its current rating.

rejection
object

Why Meta refused this content, present when status is rejected. Absent otherwise.

显示子属性
rejection.category
string

Meta's own classification of the refusal.

Possible values (may grow over time): abusive_content, incorrect_category, invalid_format, scam, tag_content_mismatch

rejection.reason
nullable string

Meta's detail about the refusal, passed through unmodified.

rejection.recommendation
nullable string

Meta's suggested fix, the only thing it says about how to make the content acceptable. Meta sends it for some refusals and not others.

error
object

Why the submission did not complete, present when status is submit_failed or outcome_unknown. Absent otherwise, including on a rejection, whose reason is in rejection.

显示子属性
error.description
string
必填

Human-readable explanation of why the submission did not complete.

error.meta_error_code
nullable string

WhatsApp's most specific code for the refusal: its error subcode when it sent one, otherwise its top-level code. Opaque, treat it as a string. Absent when the failure was Bird's own verdict rather than a WhatsApp refusal.

submitted_at
nullable string
必填

When this content was submitted to Meta. Null on a draft, which has not been submitted, and null for a built-in template's language, which Bird ships already approved rather than submitting on your behalf.

approved_at
nullable string

When Meta approved this exact content. It is a permanent mark on the content rather than a status, so a later pause or archival does not clear it. Null for a built-in template's language, whose approval predates Bird holding a date for it.

updated_at
nullable string
必填

When this language last changed. Null for a built-in template's language, which Bird ships rather than stores.

updated_by
nullable string

The workspace member who last wrote this language. Always null for a built-in template's language: nobody in the workspace authored it.
