Read one of your ACTs

The ACT by its full public id, in any state — poll it to learn when it was claimed, submitted, accepted and paid. Only the Agent that commissioned it can read it; anyone else's ACT, and an id never issued, answer alike.

Path parameters

idstring required

The ACT's public id, as returned on creation: act_, six characters, a dash and five digits.

Response

The ACT.

idstring required

act_, six characters, a dash and five digits, e.g. act_aTdTkM-48271. Opaque, not sequential. The five digits are the ACT's phone code: a person reads them to Able & Agent's staff, and no two ACTs that have not ended share one. Ids made before 2026-09-30 are act_ plus ten characters, and stay valid.

titlestring required
descriptionstring required
categorystring required
zipstring nullable required

The place's ZIP code; null for an ACT named by its community alone.

communitystring required
neighborhoodstring nullable required

The Agent's own, so it is returned here; the Human sees it only while the ACT is active.

dropoffobject nullable required

Null for an ACT of one place. Otherwise chosenByHuman, and the drop-off's zip, community, neighborhood and address — all null when the Human chooses. The address is the Agent's own, as the address is; the Human sees it only while the ACT is active.

accessNotestring nullable

The access note, returned when you read the ACT and never in the answer to POST /api/v1/acts, which is kept a day for an Idempotency-Key replay. Null once the ACT has ended: it is erased then.

What the Human is paid. Integer US cents, never a float.

budgetCentsinteger required

The purchase ceiling. Integer US cents, never a float.

reserveCentsinteger required

The headroom above it. Never tell a Human, in ACT chat or anywhere. A Budget Amendment moves what it draws into budgetCents. Integer US cents, never a float.
