# Get a space

`GET /api/spaces/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://telawiki.com`
- URL: `https://telawiki.com/api/spaces/{id}`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in cookie `tela_session`

## Response `200`

The space.

- object
  - `space` Space, required
    - `id` integer, required
    - `name` string, required
    - `slug` string, required
    - `visibility` 'private' | 'public', required: `public` makes the entire space readable with no account, at `/{handle}/{space-slug}`.
    - `description` string, required
    - `created_at` string, required: `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS` in UTC.
    - `updated_at` string, required: `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS` in UTC.
    - `my_role` 'owner' | 'editor' | 'viewer': Your effective role. Set on single-space responses, absent from listings.
    - `public_path` string: Server-computed `/{handle}/{space-slug}`. Present only for a public space — never derive it client-side.

## Other responses

- `400`: `invalid_id` — a path parameter was not a positive integer.
- `403`: `forbidden` (no access, or the role is too low), `viewer_no_write`, `api_key_scope` (the token's scope forbids this method), or `api_key_space_scope` (the token is pinned to another space).
- `404`: `not_found`.
- `500`: `internal` — server error.
