Summary

Lists media items for the selected WhatsApp account, applying any configured filters. Returns metadata only; use a returned media ID with Download File to fetch the bytes once the item is downloaded.

Inputs

  • Filters — Optional filters: Chat ID (phone number in international format or group JID), direction (all, received, sent), cached context (all, yes, no), search text, sort order (newest, oldest, biggest, smallest), state, and media type. Defaults leave filters unrestricted and sort newest first.
  • Return All — Whether to return all matching results. Defaults to false.
  • Limit — Maximum results when Return All is false; defaults to 50.

Output shape

A list of media item records

Each record contains media metadata, including its ID, type, file name, size, caption, state, needsContext, and apiPath. The operation returns no file bytes. Items can be filtered or sorted, and results are paginated internally; the response is emitted as individual n8n items.
