POST
Get status, dimensions and expiration for a thumbnail belonging to the connected account.

Authentication and permissions

string
required
Send a VoiceCheap API key in this header. Authorization: Bearer with the same API key is also supported. OAuth access tokens are accepted only by MCP, not by this REST endpoint.
Required permissions: thumbnails:read. An active paid subscription is required. Permissions do not change team roles, resource ownership, media credits, or plan limits.

Parameters

string
required
Generation ID returned by a generation or history action.Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,128}$.
The JSON Schema below preserves the exact field names, nested types, defaults, bounds, and accepted values exposed by discovery. Additional cross-field rules are listed in the operation notes.

Request examples

Replace example resource identifiers and media keys with values returned for your account. Keep the request identifier stable when retrying the same mutation.

Response

A successful first execution returns HTTP 200 with the operation result under data. A replay may return saved request state instead. The example shows one supported response, not every optional field. The connected user’s thumbnail metadata, including dimensions, reference count, status, and expiration. Claimed public-tool thumbnails can also be retrieved.

Result fields

Operation notes

  • Requires thumbnails:read. generationId must contain 1–128 ASCII letters, digits, underscores, or hyphens.
  • This action uses the connected user’s own creations and uploads, including when the credential is connected in a team context.
  • Metadata reports completed, expired, or deleted; no pending generation record is exposed by this action. For an active generation, poll action_request_get.
  • The metadata record may still exist after expiration or deletion. Use thumbnails_download for WebP bytes before expiresAt; a successful metadata read does not guarantee download availability.

Usage

Each successful invocation consumes one monthly API/MCP call. Media credits and the operation’s own generation allowances also apply.
