# Get Draft

`GET /v1/posts/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.linkedmash.com`
- URL: `https://api.linkedmash.com/v1/posts/{id}`
- Auth: one of:
  - OAuth 2 (client credentials, token URL `https://api.linkedmash.com/auth/oauth/token`, scopes: `content:read`)
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `linkedmash-api-key`

Fetch a single post draft by its id. Requires a paid Premium or Lifetime plan.

GET /v1/posts/{id} returns a single draft by id, including its content, title, format, status, any attached media and its timestamps. It is the read half of the update loop: fetch, modify, PATCH back.

The id is the value returned as data.id when the draft was created, and the same id used by the schedule and delete routes.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `200`

Successful response.

- object
  - `status` boolean, required
  - `data` object, required
    - `id` string, required
    - `content` string, required
    - `title` string, required
    - `format` string, required
    - `status` string, required
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required
    - `updated_at` string, date-time, required

## Other responses

- `401`: Unauthorized. The Authorization header is missing or the key is not a valid LinkedMash API key. Create or rotate keys on the API page in your LinkedMash settings.
- `402`: Payment Required. Returned with code SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED. The content API requires a Premium or Lifetime plan; Reader and free accounts get this on every /v1/posts, /v1/queue, /v1/schedule, /v1/media and /v1/analytics call.
- `404`: Not Found. No draft with that id on this account.
- `500`: Server Error. Something failed on our side. The body carries message "Failed to get post". Retry once; if it persists the request is not the problem.
