Get resource by ID
GET/v1/:resource_id
Fetches any Graph API resource by its ID: a number (phone_number_id), a business
account (waba_id), a template or a media file (media_id).
What comes back depends on the resource type and the fields you ask for. For
media, the response carries a temporary url that needs the Authorization
header to download.
