## Response

`200 OK` — the broadcast. `recipients` is everyone its audience named; `counts` say how many were `skipped` (not a valid number, or not to be messaged), `sent` (handed to the channel), `delivered`, `failed`, and are still `waiting`; `percent` is how far through it is. `status` is one of:

| Status | Meaning |
| :- | :- |
| `preparing` | Its audience is being read and checked. |
| `queued` | Ready, waiting for a free turn to send. |
| `scheduled` | Ready, waiting for `scheduled_for`. |
| `sending` | Being sent. |
| `paused` | Paused; nothing is sent until it's resumed. |
| `sent` | Every message it could send has been handed to the channel. |
| `failed` | It couldn't be sent: `error` says why. |
| `canceled` | Canceled before every message was sent. |

```

## Errors

Every refusal is `{"error": {"code", "message", "field"}}`; `field` is there when one input is at fault.

| Status | Error code | When |
| :- | :- | :- |
| 404 | `not_found` | No broadcast of this account's has that id. |
| 403 | `scope_missing` | The key doesn't have the `broadcasts:read` scope. |

Any request can also be refused for its key, its account or its rate (`key_required`, `invalid_key`, `account_suspended`, `plan_excludes_api`, `address_not_allowed`, `rate_limited`); see [the overview](/api-reference/overview).
