# Get Finding

`GET /api/v1/public/detectors/findings/{finding_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.traceroot.ai`
- URL: `https://app.traceroot.ai/api/v1/public/detectors/findings/{finding_id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Get a single finding by id for the key's project.

## Path parameters

- `finding_id` string, required

## Query parameters

- `project_id` string, nullable: Target project for the request. Required when authenticating with a user session token (a user credential is only meaningful scoped to a project); for an API key it is optional and, if given, must match the key's project.

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- FindingDetail: A finding plus its per-detector results and optional free-text RCA.
  - `detectors` string[], required
  - `finding_id` string, required
  - `project_id` string, required
  - `rca` RCAResult, required: Free-text root-cause analysis for a finding (Postgres ``detector_rcas``). The agent trace behind an RCA (``detector_rca_executions``) is internal and deliberately not part of this contract: its trace id is not readable through the public trace endpoints, so advertising it here would be misleading.
    - `inherited` boolean
    - `result` string, nullable, required
    - `status` string, required
  - `results` DetectorResultItem[], required
    - `data` unknown, required

    - `detector_id` string, required
    - `signal_id` string, required
    - `signal_status` string, required
    - `signal_title` string, required
