# Get social account by ID

`GET /v1/social-accounts/{id}`

Returns one connected social account: platform, username and whether its authorisation is still valid. An account whose token has expired must be reconnected in the dashboard before it can publish.

## Path parameters

- `id` number, required

## Response `200`

Social account retrieved successfully.

- SocialAccountDto
  - `id` number, required — The unique identifier of the social account
  - `platform` string, required — The platform of the social account
  - `username` string, required — The platform's username of the social account
  - `needs_reconnect` boolean, required — True when repeated dead-token failures have paused posting to this account (Meta platforms). Posts to it are skipped until the account is reconnected in the dashboard; any reconnect clears it automatically. Pause your automation for accounts in this state instead of retrying.

## Other responses

- `404` — Social account not found based on the given ID.
- `500` — Internal server error when fetching the post result.
