# Get a CloudFS filesystem

`GET /storage/cloudfs/{id}`

Retrieves a CloudFS filesystem by its ID. The returned `meta_url` omits the credential — the metadata token is only ever returned by create and rotate-meta-token. A filesystem whose last lifecycle action failed includes a customer-safe `error` message.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

CloudFS filesystem retrieved successfully

- CloudfsFilesystemDetailResponseWrapper
  - `data` CloudfsFilesystemDetail — A CloudFS filesystem as returned by get, update, and delete. `meta_url` omits the credential and there is no `meta_token` field — the token is only returned by create and rotate-meta-token.
    - `created_at` string, date-time
    - `error` string — Explanation of the most recent failed lifecycle action. Present only when the filesystem is in a `failed` state.
    - `id` string, uuid
    - `meta_url` string — PostgreSQL connection URL for the filesystem's metadata database, without the credential. Combine it with your stored metadata token, or issue a new token with rotate-meta-token.
    - `name` string
    - `record_type` string
    - `region` string
    - `s3_bucket` string — Name of the bucket that stores this filesystem's data. Created during provisioning.
    - `s3_endpoint` string — URL of the Telnyx Cloud Storage endpoint backing this filesystem.
    - `status` 'provisioning' | 'ready' | 'needs_format' | 'deleting' | 'failed' | 'deleted' — Lifecycle status of the filesystem. `ready` means it is fully provisioned and usable. `needs_format` means the storage bucket and metadata database were provisioned but the filesystem has not yet been formatted — run `juicefs format` with the filesystem's `meta_url` before mounting. `failed` means the last lifecycle action failed — see the filesystem's `error` message. `deleted` appears only in the delete response: deleted filesystems are excluded from list results and return a `404` on retrieval.
    - `updated_at` string, date-time

## Other responses

- `401` — Unauthorized
- `404` — CloudFS filesystem not found
- `422` — Unprocessable entity — `id` is not a valid UUID
- `500` — Internal server error
