# Get Protocol

`GET /api/v1/protocols/{identifier}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.verdict.finance`
- URL: `https://api.verdict.finance/api/v1/protocols/{identifier}`
- Auth: none declared

Get a protocol by slug or UUID. Public.

Accepts either a kebab-case slug (e.g. `aave-v3`) or a UUID. UUID parse
is tried first; on ValueError, falls back to slug lookup.

404 for is_private=True OR is_active=False.
Admin bypass: ?include_inactive=true with admin Privy JWT skips the
is_active 404 check. Non-admin's param silently ignored.

## Path parameters

- `identifier` string, required
