# Get a disbursement by ID

`GET /accounting-api/disbursements/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://open-api.guesty.com/v1`
- URL: `https://open-api.guesty.com/v1/accounting-api/disbursements/{id}`
- Auth: API key in header `authorization`

Returns an account-scoped disbursement. A missing disbursement and a disbursement owned by another account both return 404. Mirrors the Disbursements report columns. Monetary amount / line-item breakdown is intentionally out of scope for this resource — use journal entries filtered by `triggers=DISBURSEMENT` when you need amounts. `accountNumber` is masked to its last four digits; `bankNumber` (routing / bank identifier) is returned in full.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

    - `accountNumber` string, nullable, required: Bank account number masked to the last four digits (e.g. `****6789`)
