# Get public media

`GET /public-media/{file}`

Serves a message media attachment. No authentication required — the unguessable media ID in the path is the access token, mirroring how carriers serve MMS media. Usually responds with a `302` redirect to short-lived object storage; while a just-received attachment is still being mirrored, the body is streamed directly instead. URLs are stable and do not expire.

## Path parameters

- `file` string, required

## Response `200`

Media bytes, streamed (only while mirroring is in flight).

- MessagesGetPublicMediaResponse200 — Empty response body

## Other responses

- `404` — The requested resource was not found on this account.
