# Fax API

Receive faxes on a Telnyx-provisioned fax number and read past faxes. Sending a fax goes through the unified [Messaging API](/api-reference/endpoints/messaging) at `POST /api/v1/messages/fax`.

**Base path:** `/api/v1/fax`

**Authentication:** API key (`X-API-Key`) or session JWT.

| Method | Path                      | Purpose                 |
| ------ | ------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| `GET`  | `/api/v1/fax/`            | List faxes              |
| `GET`  | `/api/v1/fax/{id}`        | Get a fax message row   |
| `GET`  | `/api/v1/fax/{id}/status` | Get current status only |
