# API
There is a web API for getting information about things that are bridged with Out Of Your Element.
The base URL is the URL of the particular OOYE instance, for example, https://bridge.cadence.moe.
No authentication is required.
I'm happy to add more endpoints, just ask for them.
## Endpoint: GET /api/message
|Query parameter|Type|Description|
|---------------|----|-----------|
|`message_id`|regexp `/^[0-9]+$/`|Discord message ID to look up information for|
Response:
```typescript
{
source: "matrix" | "discord" // Which platform the message originated on
matrix_author?: { // Only for Matrix messages; should be up-to-date rather than historical data
displayname: string, // Matrix user's current display name
avatar_url: string | null, // Absolute HTTP(S) URL to download the Matrix user's current avatar
mxid: string // Matrix user ID, can never change
},
events: [ // Data about each individual event
{
metadata: { // Data from OOYE's database about how bridging was performed
sender: string, // Same as matrix user ID
event_id: string, // Unique ID of the event on Matrix, can never change
event_type: "m.room.message" | string, // Event type
event_subtype: "m.text" | string | null, // For m.room.message events, this is the msgtype property
part: 0 | 1, // For multi-event messages, 0 if this is the first part
reaction_part: 0 | 1, // For multi-event messages, 0 if this is the last part
room_id: string, // Room ID that the event was sent in, linked to the Discord channel
source: number
},
raw: { // Raw historical event data from the Matrix API. Contains at least these properties:
content: any, // The only non-metadata property, entirely client-generated
type: string,
room_id: string,
sender: string,
origin_server_ts: number,
unsigned?: any,
event_id: string,
user_id: string
}
}
]
}
