Retrieve an email

GEThttps://api.pidgely.com/emails/{id}
View as Markdown

Retrieves one email with its bodies and last_event, the most advanced status across its recipients: queued, scheduled, delivery_delayed, canceled, suppressed, failed, delivered, bounced or complained. Reads come from the primary database, so the email is visible immediately after the send. A sending_access key can call this endpoint.

Authorization: Bearer pdg_…. Any API key (full_access or sending_access).
