# read dataset

`GET /datasets/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.riveterhq.com/v1`
- URL: `https://api.riveterhq.com/v1/datasets/{id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

One dataset: `input_columns`, `index_column`, the bound `enrichment_id` and its `output_columns` (names; prompts and schemas are on [GET /enrichments/{id}](#tag/enrich/get/enrichments/{id})), `row_count`, whether the rows expired (`rows_expired`), whether a CSV import is still landing (`import_in_progress`), and the five newest `runs` (list generation and fills).

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `200`

The dataset

- Dataset
  - `id` string: ds_...
  - `name` string, nullable
  - `input_columns` string[]: Input column names, in order (row identity)
  - `index_column` string, nullable: The input column rows are unique on
  - `enrichment_id` string, nullable: The bound enrichment (its output columns are the dataset's)
  - `output_columns` string[]: Output column names, in order (from the bound enrichment; [] without one). Prompts and schemas are on GET /enrichments/{enrichment_id}
  - `row_count` integer
  - `rows_expired` boolean: True once the rows were removed by retention; the structure stays
  - `import_in_progress` boolean: A CSV import accepted with 202 has not landed yet
  - `runs` DatasetRunSummary[]: The five newest runs on the dataset
    - `id` string: run_...
    - `type` 'dataset_build' | 'enrichment': dataset_build = list generation; enrichment = a fill
    - `status` string
    - `created_at` string, date-time
    - `finished_at` string, date-time, nullable
  - `created_at` string, date-time
  - `updated_at` string, date-time
