# Find an exact changeset request

`GET /api/repos/{owner}/{repo}/changesets/requests/{requestKey}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://git.cafe`
- URL: `https://git.cafe/api/repos/{owner}/{repo}/changesets/requests/{requestKey}`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in cookie `gc-session`
  - HTTP bearer
  - HTTP basic
  - HTTP token
  - OAuth 2
    - Authorization code: `/api/oauth/authorize`
    - Token URL: `/api/oauth/token` scopes: `repo:contents:write`

Returns the current actor's retained changeset for the exact caller nonce, or null if no admission is visible. Null does not fence a delayed request. Requires authenticated authority and enforces current resource policy.

## Other responses

- `400`: The request is invalid.
- `401`: Authentication is required, or the supplied credential is invalid.
- `403`: The credential does not permit this operation. A `code`, when present, names the refusal.
- `404`: The resource does not exist or is not visible to the caller.
- `409`: The request conflicts with the current state. A `code`, when present, names the refusal; `retryable` says whether the same request can succeed later, and `operationId` names the operation in the way.
- `429`: A rate limit is exhausted. Wait Retry-After seconds; the value is a hint, so back off on a repeat 429.
- `503`: A required service is temporarily unavailable; retry later.
