# Retrieve a quote by number

`GET /v1/quotes/by-number/{year}/{number}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.officina.it`
- URL: `https://api.officina.it/v1/quotes/by-number/{year}/{number}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Returns the quote carrying number `number` in year `year` (the year of its document date) — the number shown in the app, e.g. 12/2026.

The response is identical to `GET /v1/quotes/{id}`. A number that matches more than one document (repeated in historical data) returns 409 `ambiguous_number` with their ids in `candidates`.

## Response `200`

The quote, exactly as retrieving it by id returns it.

- Quote: A customer-facing job estimate. Lifecycle: `waiting` → `accepted` / `rejected`. Totals are server-computed from the embedded line items and are read-only on the wire.
  - `object` 'quote', required
  - `id` string, required
  - `seq_number` integer, required
  - `status` 'waiting' | 'accepted' | 'rejected', required
  - `title` string, nullable
  - `comments` string, nullable
  - `internal_comments` string, nullable
  - `customer_id` string, required
  - `customer_name` string, required
  - `vehicle_id` string, nullable
  - `vehicle_name` string, nullable
  - `vehicle_license` string, nullable
  - `work_category_id` string, nullable
  - `work_category_name` string, nullable
  - `work_category_ids` string[], required: Every work category ("categoria") of the document, in the order chosen. `work_category_id` (kept for clients that handle a single category) always equals the first. `[]` when the document has none, never null. Available since revision 2026-10-03.
  - `work_categories` WorkCategory[], required: The same list as `work_category_ids` with each category's name, same order. `work_category_name` is the first one's name. Available since revision 2026-10-03.
    - `object` 'work_category', required
    - `id` string, uuid, required
    - `name` string, required
  - `km` number, double, nullable
  - `worksheet_id` string, nullable
  - `worksheet_seq_number` integer, nullable
  - `worksheet_created_at` string, date-time, nullable
  - `total_before_tax` number, double
  - `total_tax` number, double
  - `total_after_tax` number, double
  - `total_discount` number, double
  - `total_discount_before_tax` number, double
  - `total_after_discount` number, double
  - `total_work` number, double
  - `total_articles` number, double
  - `hide_discounts` boolean
  - `line_items` QuoteLineItem[], nullable: Embedded line items. Populated on detail / write responses; list responses set this to `null` to keep payloads small.
    - `object` 'quote_line_item', required
    - `id` string, required
    - `line_type` 'item' | 'note' | 'separator', required: `item` is a priced line. `note` is a description-only line and `separator` an empty spacer row: both print without quantity, price and VAT and carry zero amounts (ignore their numeric fields). Lines from documents without types report `item`.
    - `article_id` string, nullable
    - `description` string, required
    - `unit_type` string, required
    - `quantity` number, double, required
    - `unit_price` number, double, required
    - `unit_discount_rate` number, double
    - `tax_rate` number, double
    - `vat_code` string, nullable
    - `total_price` number, double
    - `unit_cost` number, nullable: Internal cost per unit, ex-VAT, never printed on documents. Fixed when the line was written (the article's purchase price at that moment, or the `unit_cost` sent); converting the quote carries it to the worksheet's line. `null` when unknown.
    - `total_before_tax` number, double
    - `total_tax` number, double
    - `total_after_tax` number, double
    - `position` integer, required
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required
  - `delivered_at` string, date-time, nullable
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required
  - `updated_at` string, date-time, required
  - `archived_at` string, date-time, nullable
  - `deleted_at` string, date-time, nullable

## Other responses

- `401`: Missing, malformed, expired, or wrong-audience bearer token.
- `402`: The company has no active subscription, or its plan does not include API access. API access is included in the Business and Illimitato plans.
- `403`: The authenticated user lacks the required permission.
- `404`: Resource does not exist OR belongs to a different company. The two cases are intentionally indistinguishable.
- `409`: The number matched more than one document — a number repeated in historical data. `candidates` lists their ids; retrieve the right one by id. For sezionale-numbered documents, passing `sezionale_id` narrows the search to one series.
- `422`: A request field is missing or invalid (fast-fail).
- `500`: Unhandled server error. Detail is logged, not exposed.
