How to access the mediaURL from twilio since it is integrated with Api.ai?

I am currently trying to figure out how to receive an mms message via a twilio chatbot. I can't figure out how to access the mediaURL from twilio since it is integrated with Api.ai -- anyone know if there is a way to do this?

After looking into this issue quite a bit - Facebook/Twilio do not pass long the image event to API.ai. If another person out there is trying to have api.ai reply to an image event - you have to build in a node.js layer between facebook/twilio and Api.ai to ensure that information gets passed along.

API.AI retains information on the original request from each integration. Using a webhook you should be able to get all the information on a request including the mediaURL. API.AI webhook requests from integrations include a JSON object called originalRequest which should have the information you need. The JSON from API.AI's webhook request to your server should have this form:

{
  "originalRequest": {
    "source": "twilio",
    "data": {
        ...
    }
  }
  ...
}

The data attribute should have the information you're looking for.
