## Response `200`

Profile picture URL retrieved successfully

- object
  - `data` object
    - `jid` string: WhatsApp JID of the phone number
    - `profilePictureUrl` string, nullable

## Other responses

- `403`: Forbidden — the API key does not own this connection. Returned when a connection is bound to a different API key.
- `404`: Profile picture not found
- `421`: Misdirected Request — in cluster mode, this instance does not own the connection. The owning instance id is in the x-baileys-owner header; a proxy re-routes the request there. Not returned for the explicit-takeover routes: POST /connections/{phoneNumber}, /import-session and /restart.
