# Get a regulation by ID

`GET /v1/regulations/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.dapperglobal.com`
- URL: `https://api.dapperglobal.com/v1/regulations/{id}`
- Auth: API key in header `X-API-Key`

Full detail for one regulation (decreto/resolución/circular/normativa): title, type, issuing entity, publication date, and external_link (citable source URL, may be null — coverage varies). Regulation ids are globally unique; no country_code needed. Use list_regulations(entity_id=..., ...) first if you don't have the id yet.

**Data sources:** official gazettes and issuing-agency portals, scraped daily or twice daily per country — e.g. Diário Oficial da União (in.gov.br), El Peruano (gob.pe), Boletín Oficial de la República Argentina, Diario Oficial de la Federación (dof.gob.mx), Diario Oficial de Chile, Gaceta Oficial de Venezuela/Panamá, and 30+ Colombian entity sites. Every record links to the original publication via `external_link`.

## Path parameters

- `id` integer, required

## Response `200`

Successful response (real sample data)

- RegulationDetail
  - `dapper_url` string, nullable: This record's page in the Dapper platform (dapperglobal.com) — hand this to a person who wants the full detail. Use it as given; the routes are not derivable from the payload. `null` means the record has no page (see the field's per-domain notes), not that the link is missing. Distinct from `external_link`/`congress_records[].link`, which point at the original official document.
  - `country_code` string, nullable
  - `country_id` integer, nullable
  - `id` integer, required
  - `title` string, nullable
  - `summary` string, nullable
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required
  - `external_link` string, nullable
  - `regulation_type` string, nullable
  - `entities` AppSchemasRegulationsEntity[]
    - `id` integer, required
    - `name` string, nullable
    - `long_name` string, nullable
  - `display_title` string, nullable
