`GET /_matrix/client/v1/room_summary/{roomIdOrAlias}`

This operation requires an authentication scheme, `signedRequest`, that the API's document does not define, so its parameters and responses are not shown here. They are in the [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc.dev/matrix/apis/matrix-client-server-api/revisions/c7fe4072c681?raw).
