# Receive and Download Images on Incoming Media Messages

In this tutorial, we'll show you how to use the [Programmable Messaging](/docs/messaging) API to receive and download images from any media message you receive. You'll learn how to create a project for processing inbound media messages, receive media messages, and process and save (or delete) images and other media to your local filesystem.

> \[!WARNING]
>
> **Authentication required**: Twilio enforces [HTTP Basic Authentication](/docs/glossary/what-is-basic-authentication) for all media URLs. Authenticate using an [API key](/docs/iam/api-keys) as the username and an API key secret as the password. You can also use your Account SID and Auth Token when testing locally.
