# Get one Slickdeals deal thread's full detail

`GET /slickdeals/deal`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/slickdeals/deal`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Returns one Slickdeals deal thread's full detail: title, store, final/list price, community vote score, comment count, whether the deal is marked expired, the deal's product category and taxonomy (category/sub_category/category_paths, and separately the legacy forum/forum_id the thread was posted under), the public Slickdeals username who posted it ("found by" attribution) with a public community-standing summary (reputation, join date, deals posted, total votes/comments), a related_deals sidebar (Slickdeals' own Popular/Trending picks), the outbound merchant link, and the deal's own description. Give either url (the exact value returned by GET /slickdeals/search) or thread_id (Slickdeals' own numeric thread id, e.g. from a deal's URL path /f/{thread_id}-...); at least one is required. An unknown or removed deal returns 404.
