# sObject Rich Text Image Get

Gets the specified image data from a specific rich text area field in a given record. To get an image, you must have a record with an image uploaded to a rich text area field.

**note:** The sObject Rich Text Image Get resource isn’t compatible with Composite API requests, because it returns binary data instead of data in JSON or XML formats. Instead, make individual sObject Blob Get requests to retrieve blob data.

## Syntax

**URI:** `/services/data/vXX.X/sobjects/sObject/id/richTextImageFields/fieldName/contentReferenceId`

**Formats:** Binary data

**HTTP Method:** GET

**Authentication:** `Authorization: Bearer token`

**Parameters**

|Parameter|Description|
|---------|-----------|
|`sObjectName`|Indicates the name of the standard object of the record.|
|`id`|The ID of the object.|
|`fieldName`|The name of the rich text area field.|
|`contentReferenceId`|The reference ID that uniquely identifies an image within a rich text area field. You can obtain the reference by [retrieving information for the object](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/api-rest/guide/resources-sobject-retrieve.md). The description shows the contents of the rich text area field. The `refid` parameter of the image (`0EMRM00000002Ip` in this example) is the `contentReferenceId`.|

Example rich text area field contents:

```nolang
{
   "attributes" : {
      "type" : "Lead",
      "url" : "/services/data/v68.0/sobjects/Lead/00QRM000003ZfDb2AK"
   },
   "Id" : "00QRM000003ZfDb2AK",
   ...
   "ContactPhoto__c" : 
   "Sarah Loehr and her two dogs.
   <img alt=\"Sarah Loehr.\" 
   src=\"https://MyDomainName.file.force.com/servlet/rtaImage?
   eid=00QRM000003ZfDb&amp;
   feoid=00NRM000001E73j&amp;
   refid=0EMRM00000002Ip\"></img>"
}
```
