# Read a template render

`GET /v1/templates/{id}/renders/{renderId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.cueframe.ai`
- URL: `https://api.cueframe.ai/v1/templates/{id}/renders/{renderId}`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `https://api.cueframe.ai/api/auth/mcp/authorize`, token URL `https://api.cueframe.ai/api/auth/mcp/token`, scopes: `renders:read`)
  - API key in header `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE`

Required permission: renders:read

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required
- `renderId` string, required

## Response `200`

The render.

- TemplateRenderResponse
  - `id` string, required
  - `status` 'preparing' | 'rendering' | 'complete' | 'failed' | 'cancelled' | 'revoked', required
  - `templateId` string, required
  - `version` integer, required
  - `preset` string
  - `brandKitId` string
  - `shareUrl` string, nullable, required
  - `posterUrl` string, nullable, required
  - `renderId` string, nullable, required
  - `errorCode` string
  - `errorMessage` string
  - `expiresAt` string
  - `createdAt` string, required
  - `updatedAt` string, required

## Other responses

- `401`: Missing or invalid Authorization header.
- `402`: Payment required. Returned when the caller presents no API key on a priced operation: the body AND the `Payment-Required` header carry the x402 v2 challenge (accepted scheme, network, USDC asset, amount, payTo). Sign the EIP-3009 authorization and retry with a `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header. A KEYED caller sees this status instead when their plan lacks or has exhausted the feature (`billing_required`).
- `403`: Forbidden — permission insufficient.
- `404`: Resource not found.
- `429`: Rate limited. Retry-After header present.
- `500`: Internal error.
