​
Path Parameters

​
id
string
required
The ID for the received email.

​
Query Parameters

​
html_format
'data_uri' | 'cid'
Controls how inline images are returned inside html. The response echoes the form actually served as html_format on the body.By default (or when set to data_uri), inline images appear in html as base64 data: URIs. Set html_format=cid to keep the original <img src="cid:..." /> references instead. Each cid: matches the content_id of an attachment, so you can correlate inline images with entries in the attachments array and fetch them via the attachment download endpoint.
​
raw
object | null
Raw email content download information. Contains a signed URL to download the original email file including all attachments.
