# List a version's languages

`GET /v1/whatsapp/templates/{template_ref}/versions/{version_id}/languages`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://us1.platform.bird.com`
- URL: `https://us1.platform.bird.com/v1/whatsapp/templates/{template_ref}/versions/{version_id}/languages`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in cookie `bird_session`

Returns every language a version holds, without content: each language's tag, what this version's submission did with it, its write counter, and a hash over its content. Compare the hashes to tell which languages actually differ before fetching any content. Fetch [a single language](/docs/api/reference/get-whatsapp-template-version-language) for its content blocks.

## Headers

- `X-Workspace-Id` string
- `X-Organization-Id` string

## Response `200`

The version's languages.

- WhatsAppTemplateLanguageList
  - `data` WhatsAppTemplateLanguageSummary[], required: Every language this version holds, without content.
    - `language` string, required: A language tag in BCP-47 form, for example `en` or `pt-BR`.
    - `status` string: Language review and health status: - `approved`: Passed review and can be sent. - `pending`: Under review, or submitted while Bird confirms the result with WhatsApp. - `rejected`: Failed review. - `paused` or `disabled`: Sending is suspended. - `in_appeal`: A decision is being appealed. - `pending_deletion`: Scheduled for deletion by Meta. - `limit_exceeded`: Sending is blocked by a limit. - `archived`: Reclaimed after 12 months without use; recoverable for 28 days. - `deleted`: Permanently deleted. - `submit_failed`: A submission or a deletion did not complete and will not be retried. `error.description` says why, and `error.meta_error_code` is set only where WhatsApp itself refused. This is an open enum. Accept unrecognized values.
    - `revision` integer, required: A write counter, incremented every time the content it belongs to changes. It sits at 1 on content that has never been written through this API.
    - `content_hash` string, required: A hash over the serialized `components` this API surfaces, for telling whether a language differs without fetching it. It is comparable only within one version of this API: adding a field to the component shape changes every hash without the underlying content changing.
    - `next` NextAction[]: What to do next about this language, given the verdict it carries. Present on reads that compute it: an empty list means there is nothing to do, and the field is absent entirely on responses that do not report next actions. Approval is per language, so this is where a rejection, a pause, or a reclaimed language is answered. The template's own next actions cannot say, because they read the aggregate.
      - `kind` string, required: What you do about this step. - `operation`: call the operation named in `operation`, then read again. - `external`: act somewhere this API does not reach, then read again. - `wait`: nothing is asked of you, so read again later. - `terminal`: nothing you do resolves this, so stop retrying. Tolerate a value you do not recognize: show the `description` and offer no action.
      - `description` string, required: A short, human-readable label for the step, suitable for display.
      - `operation` string: The operationId to call. Present only when `kind` is `operation`. The operation's own schema says how to call it; this says only which one, and what to address it with.
      - `params` object: The parameters that address the operation, by name: `{"sender_id": "…"}` for an operation on `/v1/sms/senders/{sender_id}/requirements`. A parameter the operation takes in its query string is given the same way, so an operation addressed as `?subject_id=` carries `{"subject_id": "…"}`. Every parameter the call needs is here, whether its value came from the thing you were acting on or is fixed for this step, so you can make the call from this object alone. Present only when `kind` is `operation` and the operation names a subject. A request body, when the operation takes one, is described by the operation's own schema and never appears here.
      - `url` string, uri: A URL to open. Present only when `kind` is `external`, and only when the step has one. An external step whose `description` says to go and do something with no URL to open is normal.

## Other responses

- `400`: Bad request
- `401`: Authentication required
- `403`: Insufficient permissions
- `404`: Resource not found
- `422`: The request has invalid field values, violates a business rule, or carries a query parameter the endpoint does not declare. Field validation errors use `type: validation_error` and include the affected fields in `details`. Business-rule errors identify the failed rule in `type`.
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded
- `500`: Internal server error
