GET /sms/drafts/{draftId}
Read a draft
| Scope | sms:read |
| Cost | Free |
Unsent text saved against a key you choose — in the message center it is the conversation. That is what makes a draft addressable before it exists: you can read the draft for a thread without having created one.
A missing draft is 204, not 404. "Nobody has typed anything here"
is the normal state of a conversation, and a 404 would make every client
log the happy path as an error.

Errors
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
400 | invalid_request — a missing or malformed field, an unknown enum value, or an unknown field in the body. Nothing was charged. |
401 | unauthenticated — no credential, or one that is invalid, revoked or expired. The WWW-Authenticate header names the scope the endpoint wanted. |
403 | Two different failures share this status, and the type tells them apart: |
500 | internal_error — something failed on our side. For a send, nothing was charged, guaranteed, which is what makes a retry safe. |
See Errors for the full catalog and what to do about each.
