# Retrieve a company

`GET /companies/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.cavuno.com/v1`
- URL: `https://api.cavuno.com/v1/companies/{id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Retrieves the details of an existing company. You only need to supply the unique company ID that was returned upon company creation.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required: The company's opaque object `id`: the `id` field returned by the company endpoints (e.g. `p17xq4c2b9r5gz3e8j0r6t4k7m2n9d5w`). This is NOT the `slug` or display name; passing a slug like `antler` returns 404. To look up a company by name or slug, use `GET /v1/companies`, `POST /v1/companies/search`, or `POST /v1/companies/find-or-create` and read the returned `id`.

## Response `200`

Successful response.
