# Retrieve a reverification

`GET /sessions/{session_id}/reverifications/{reverification_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.clerk.com/v1`
- URL: `https://api.clerk.com/v1/sessions/{session_id}/reverifications/{reverification_id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Retrieve a reverification scoped to a session. A resource server can use this to validate a reverification id it received from its client: confirm it is real, scoped to the expected session, completed, and how fresh each factor is. Single-use / replay detection is the caller's responsibility (the id is stable, so the caller dedups consumed ids).

## Path parameters

- `session_id` string, required
- `reverification_id` string, required

## Response `200`

Success

- Reverification: A reverification scoped to a session. Returned so a resource server can validate a reverification id received from its client.

  - `id` string, required
  - `session_id` string, required
  - `user_id` string, required
  - `level` 'first_factor' | 'second_factor' | 'multi_factor', required: The level used for the reverification
  - `status` 'needs_first_factor' | 'needs_second_factor' | 'complete', required
  - `first_factor_verified_at` integer, nullable, required: Unix timestamp (ms) of the first factor verification, or null if not verified.
  - `second_factor_verified_at` integer, nullable, required: Unix timestamp (ms) of the second factor verification, or null if not verified.
  - `created_at` integer, required: Unix timestamp of creation.
