# Get Case Detail

`GET /developer/cases/{case_id}`

Get detailed case information for manual matching.

Routes through the active CaseProvider (SA or FV) so Filevine customers
get their project details here instead of a 404 from the SA-only path.
Developer-only; used to preview a case before manually matching.

## Path parameters

- `case_id` string, uuid, required
