# Read a recorded public request intent.

`GET /request-intents/{intentId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://huggingbay.xyz`
- URL: `https://huggingbay.xyz/request-intents/{intentId}`
- Auth: none required

Public, privacy-safe projection loaded from the authoritative request-intent record and rendered through the recorded request-intent adapter. Supports HTML, JSON, JSON-LD, agent, CLI, share, and Markdown negotiation. Requester, contact, IP, user-agent, referrer, locale, geography, and abuse data are never exposed. This route fails closed when retained public state cannot be reproduced exactly.

**Inputs.** Path, query and header fields are listed below. No request body is required.

**Outputs.** See each status below for its media type, schema and headers. A missing record or unavailable capability is not a successful empty result.

**Errors.** Read the status and Content-Type before decoding. Document, image, redirect and file routes need not return JSON errors.

**Rate limits.** Public read budgets apply by client IP and route group. This operation can have a smaller route-specific budget. Read Retry-After on 429 or retryable 503 responses.

**Example setup.** Use an identifier returned by the matching list, search or create operation. Sample identifiers are not a promise that a record exists.
