# Validate referral link

`GET /v1/invite/referral-link/{slug}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.testnet.rise.trade`
- URL: `https://api.testnet.rise.trade/v1/invite/referral-link/{slug}`
- Auth: none required
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/rise/apis/risex-rest-api/docs/v1/invite/referral-link/:slug/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Look up a referral link's owner and current state without burning capacity. Returns status NOT_FOUND in the body (not as an error) when no link matches the slug, so the visitor's landing page can render a not-found state cleanly.

## Path parameters

- `slug` string, required

## Response `200`

A successful response.

- ApiValidateReferralLinkResponse
  - `owner_address` string: Hex address of the link owner. Empty when status = NOT_FOUND.
  - `status` string: One of: ACTIVE | NOT_FOUND. NOT_FOUND is returned in the response body (not as a gRPC error) so the visitor's landing page can render the appropriate UI without trapping an error.

## Other responses

- `default`: An unexpected error response.
