Once a [message](../../../explanations/messages_payloads_and_transactions.md) is broadcast, you can use the
[`Client.get_message_data(message_id: str)`](./../libraries/python/api_reference#get_message_datamessage_id-message) and
[`Client.get_message_metadata()`](./../libraries/python/api_reference#get_message_metadatamessage_id-messagemetadataresponse)
functions used to get all the information about the message from the Tangle.

<CodeBlock className="language-python">{get_message_data}</CodeBlock>

Output example:

```json

- `Client.get_message_metadata` provides information on how the given message fits to network structures such as
  `ledger_inclusion_state`.
- `Client.get_message_data` provides all the data that relates to the message and its payload(s)
