Description
Returns the fullNewsletterChannel. Useful as a preview before following a newsletter, works even if you are not subscribed.
Examples
By JID
Looks up the newsletter metadata by its canonical JID (@newsletter). Works even when the account is not subscribed, handy as a preview before calling /join.
By link
Looks up the newsletter by the full invite link. The server URL-decodes and resolves the code before fetching the metadata, returning the sameNewsletterChannel.
By code
Looks up the newsletter using only the invite code (the link suffix). Same result, more concise when you already have the code on hand.Success response
The response returns the fullNewsletterChannel, with the canonical channel.jid, current state (active, suspended, etc.), name, description, inviteLink (when available), subscriberCount and pictureUrl. The inviteLink and pictureUrl fields are optional and can be missing when the account doesn’t have permission to view them.
