# Get a recommendation set

`GET /api/sets/{set_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://leafle.org` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://leafle.org/api/sets/{set_id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

**Access: read token.**

Returns one saved set with picks, reserve and other suggestions. Past sets are historical records; their saved availability is not a fresh stock check. Returns 404 if the set does not belong to this reader.

## Path parameters

- `set_id` integer, required

## Query parameters

- `reader_id` integer, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response
