## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.endorlabs.com`
- URL: `https://api.endorlabs.com/v1/namespaces/{tenant_meta.namespace}/distinct-entries/{uuid}`
- Auth: none declared

## Path parameters

- `tenant_meta.namespace` string, required
- `uuid` string, required

## Query parameters

- `get_parameters.mask` string

## Response `200`

A successful response.

- V1DistinctEntry: DistinctEntry tracks uniqueness for distinct-count metrics (users, repositories). One document per (namespace, scope, bucket, distinct_key, distinct_value). Unique compound index enforces at-most-once counting.
  - `meta` V1Meta, required: Common fields for all Endor Labs resources.
    - `annotations` object: Annotations can be used to attach metadata to a resource message. Annotation values can be small or large, structured or unstructured, and may include characters not permitted by labels. The keys may contain alphanumerics, underscores (_), dots (.) and dashes (-). The values of an annotation must be 16384 bytes or smaller.
    - `create_time` string, date-time: Time the resource was created. Format: 2017-01-15T01:30:15.01Z RFC 3339: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt.
    - `created_by` string: Name and authentication source of the user who created the object, for example, ewok@endor.ai@google@api-key.
    - `description` string: Resource description. Must be less than 1024 bytes.
    - `index_data` V1IndexData: IndexData is used to index the resource for search. It's an internal object.
      - `data` string[]
      - `search_score` number, float: search_score is the score of the resource for search. Internal use only.
      - `tenant` string
      - `will_be_deleted_at` string, date-time: Time that the resource will be deleted.
    - `kind` string: Resource kind, for example, HelloResponse. Auto-generated using the protobuf message proto.MessageName().Name().
    - `name` string, required: Resource name. Must be 63 characters or less.
    - `parent_kind` string: Parent object resource kind, for example, Project.
    - `parent_uuid` string: Parent object UUID.
    - `references` object: Map of objects referenced in a query API.
    - `tags` string[]: List of tags attached to the resource. Tags can be used to select objects and to find collections of objects that satisfy certain conditions. A tag must be 255 characters or less.
    - `update_time` string, date-time: Time the resource was last updated. Note: Updated on all create/patch/delete operations. Format: 2017-01-15T01:30:15.01Z RFC 3339: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt.
    - `updated_by` string: Name and authentication source of the last user who updated the object, for example, vulnerabilityingestor@endor.ai@x509.
    - `upsert_time` string, date-time: Time the resource was last upserted. Note: create_time is only set the first time the resource is created. upsert_time is set every time the resource is upseted. Format: 2017-01-15T01:30:15.01Z RFC 3339: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt.
    - `version` string: Message version.
  - `spec` V1DistinctEntrySpec
    - `bucket` string, date-time: Time bucket for the distinct scope. Null for all-time. Truncated timestamp for time-bucketed aggregates (hourly, daily, weekly).
    - `bucket_granularity` string: Granularity of the time bucket this entry backs, as the BucketGranularity enum name (e.g. "BUCKET_GRANULARITY_DAILY"). Set only for bucketed markers so hourly and daily stay disjoint at midnight where both buckets are 00:00:00. A StringValue (not the bare enum) so all-time inventory markers leave it nil: a nil wrapper serializes to null (matching pre-field docs), keeping their unique key stable, whereas an unset enum serializes to "...UNSPECIFIED" under EmitUnpopulated and would split the key.
    - `distinct_key` string, required: Which distinct-count metric this entry tracks (e.g. "user", "repository").
    - `distinct_value` string, required: The observed value being deduplicated (e.g. "john@acme.com", "my-org/my-repo").
    - `scope` string, required: Scope identifies the counter document this entry deduplicates against. Format: "<enum name>:<entity name>", where the enum is a DimensionKey for aggregate scopes or an InventoryType for inventory scopes (e.g. "DIMENSION_KEY_MCP_SERVER:github", "INVENTORY_TYPE_SKILL:my-skill").
  - `tenant_meta` V1TenantMeta: Tenant related data for the tenant containing the resource.
    - `namespace` string, required: Namespaces are a way to organize organizational units into virtual groupings of resources. Namespaces must be a fully qualified name, for example, the child namespace of namespace "endor.prod" called "app" is called "endor.prod.app".
  - `uuid` string: The UUID of the distinct record.
