**[Permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/_AozKw) required**:

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required
- `entryId` string, required

## Headers

- `If-None-Match` string

## Response `200`

Returned if the requested database entry is returned.

- DatabaseEntrySingleResponse: A single entry, not wrapped in a `results` array, with a `_links.self` path and an absolute `_links.base` URL.
  - `id` string, required: Stable identifier of the entry.
  - `databaseId` string, required: The Confluence content ID of the parent database.
  - `values` object, required: Map of field ID to field value. Every field on the database is present; unset values are represented as an object with a null `value` rather than omitted.
  - `_links` DatabasesPublicApiLinks, required: Links for a Databases API representation. `self` and `next` are path-only URLs. `base` is the absolute canonical Confluence site base URL. `next` is present only when another page exists. Additional future link relations may be added without a representation-version bump.
    - `self` string, required: Path-only URL of this resource or result page.
    - `base` string, uri, required: Absolute canonical site base URL, including the `/wiki` context path.
    - `next` string: Path-only URL of the next page.

## Other responses

- `304`: Returned without a body when `If-None-Match` matches the selected representation. A `304 Not Modified` means that the selected representation has not changed. It does not guarantee that a recent upstream write has finished propagating. A `304` for one endpoint, query, or page says nothing about any other representation.
- `401`: Returned when authentication credentials are missing, invalid, or are not accepted for this operation. Only the HTTP status is part of the Databases contract.
- `403`: Returned when an authenticated request is forbidden by an applicable app access or authorization policy. Only the HTTP status is part of the Databases contract.
- `404`: Returned with `DATABASE_NOT_FOUND` for an unavailable or inaccessible database, or with `ENTRY_NOT_FOUND` when the entry does not exist in the database.
- `413`: Returned with `DATABASE_TOO_LARGE` when the database exceeds a database-wide size limit evaluated before pagination or a serialized-response size limit. The error detail identifies the limit exceeded. Pagination, filtering, and a smaller limit do not bypass the database-wide limit.
- `429`: Returned when the request is throttled by a service handling the request. This response does not guarantee a Databases error envelope or application error code. Clients must honor `Retry-After` when it is supplied. `RateLimit-Reason` is opaque limiter attribution; it and the legacy `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, and `X-RateLimit-Reset` headers are conditional.
- `502`: Returned without a body when a dependent service returns `401` or `403`; when an upstream `5xx` response is unknown, malformed, untrusted, or not allowlisted; or when another dependent-service I/O failure occurs.
- `503`: Returned with `SERVICE_DISABLED` when the requested operation is not currently available, or with `SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE` when a service handling the request or a required dependency is temporarily unavailable. Clients may retry `SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE`. `Retry-After` is conditional and may be omitted; clients must honor it when present.
- `504`: Returned with `REQUEST_TIMEOUT` and a structured error when an allowlisted dependent-service response reports that the request timed out. A connection, socket, or proxy transport timeout is returned without a response body.
