Return the connected WhatsApp profile picture directly as an image. You can authenticate using the Authorization bearer header or the apiKey query parameter for browser image rendering.
Return the connected WhatsApp profile picture directly as an image.This endpoint is useful when you want to display the connected account avatar in a browser, documentation page, or an <img> tag. For browser image rendering, pass the API key as a query parameter because image tags cannot send Authorization headers.
Passing an API key in a URL can expose it in browser history, logs, or analytics. Use this only when you need direct image rendering. For backend integrations, prefer the Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY header.
Authenticate your integration payloads by injecting your premium secure Wachat Account API Private Secret Key inside standard Authorization Bearer header vectors.
Optional API key for direct browser image rendering. Prefer Authorization bearer header for server-to-server requests.
Response
Profile picture image returned successfully.
The response is of type file.
