# Get an Account Updater request

`GET /account-updater/{id}`

Retrieve a single Account Updater request by its `id`, scoped to the companies your credentials can access. Returns the same resource as the [list endpoint](/reference/list-account-updater).

Unlike the list, this endpoint applies no default date window - a request of any age can be retrieved by its `id`.

> 📘 Older requests
>
> Some older Account Updater requests have limited information available: the outcome is shown as `unknown` with no `outcome_detail`, and the source of the request may also be unavailable.

## Path parameters
