# Get a dimension value

`GET /v2/accounting/dimensions/{dimensionKey}/values/{valueId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.slash.com`
- URL: `https://api.slash.com/v2/accounting/dimensions/{dimensionKey}/values/{valueId}`
- Auth: API key in header `X-API-Key`

Get one dimension value, whether it's turned on or off.

## Query parameters

- `connectionId` string

## Response `200`

The value.

- AccountingDimensionValue: One selectable value of a dimension: a general-ledger account, a vendor record, a class, and so on. Use `id` when coding a line item.
  - `id` string, required: Value id. The prefix depends on the dimension's `type`: `accounting_account_`, `accounting_vendor_`, and so on for `platform` dimensions; `acc_dim_val_` for `generic` dimensions. A `custom_field` option's id is the option value itself, the string `customFields` takes.
  - `dimensionKey` string, required: The dimension this value belongs to.
  - `connectionId` string, required
  - `name` string, required: Display name, as shown in the dashboard and the platform.
  - `externalId` string, required: The accounting platform's own id for this value, or the id in the imported file on CSV connections. For the few values a platform reports no id for, a stable id assigned when the value was synced.
  - `platformStatus` string: The value's status on the accounting platform, when it reports one (for example `active` or `archived`). Whether Slash offers the value for coding is `enabled`.
  - `parentId` string: The value on the dimension named by the dimension's `parentKey` that this value belongs under. Only set on nested dimensions.
  - `enabled` boolean, required: Whether a user has switched this value on for coding. Disabled values are not offered in the dashboard but stay valid on existing entries.
  - `metadata` object: Platform-specific details such as the account number, account type, or currency. Keys vary by platform and dimension; treat them as informational.

## Other responses

- `400`: - `connection_id_required` — The legal entity has several accounting connections, so the request must say which one with `connectionId`. List them with `GET /v2/accounting/connections`. - `invalid_request (request shape)` — The body, query, or headers failed validation, or a required header is missing. `details` has one entry per failing location, keyed by JSON pointer or header name.
- `401`: - `unauthorized` — API key authentication is missing or invalid.
- `403`: - `forbidden (legal entity)` — The credential is not permitted to act for the selected legal entity. - `not_available` — Public API v2 is not yet available. Use [Public API v1](https://docs.slash.com/introduction) in the meantime. - `user_api_key_required` — The API key is scoped to a legal entity rather than a user. Every v2 request needs a user API key, created under Settings → API keys in the Slash dashboard, together with the `x-legal-entity` header.
- `404`: - `not_found` — No resource matches the identifier. When the identifier is a field of the request, `details` names that `field` and the `id` it received.
- `429`: The request exceeded the applicable rate limit. The response body is plain text, not the error object; clients must not depend on its wording.
- `500`: - `internal` — Slash could not complete the request. Quote `referenceId` when contacting Slash support.
