# Get webchat session details.

`GET /webchat_sessions/{id}`

Retrieves detailed information for a specific webchat session by its ID.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

Details of the requested session.

- WebchatManagerSession — A webchat visitor session. Session.id doubles as the visitor's continuity token.
  - `id` string, uuid, required — The unique identifier of the session, and the visitor's continuity token. Returned from the `POST /sessions` or `GET /sessions` response.
  - `customer_id` string, uuid, required — The unique identifier of the associated customer. Returned from the `GET /customers` response.
  - `widget_id` string, uuid, required — The widget this session belongs to. Returned from the `POST /widgets` or `GET /widgets` response.
  - `status` 'active' | 'ended', required — The status of the session.
  - `tm_last_activity` string, date-time — Timestamp of the last activity on this session.
  - `welcome_message` string — The owning Widget's welcome message, populated ONLY on the POST /webchat_sessions (Create) response -- List/Get/End responses always leave this empty. The client is expected to call POST /webchat_sessions fresh on every page load, so this asymmetry does not surface as a real gap in the visitor-facing flow.
  - `tm_create` string, date-time — Timestamp when the session was created.
  - `tm_update` string, date-time — Timestamp when the session was last updated.
  - `tm_end` string, date-time — Timestamp when the session ended.

- `401` — Authentication required (UNAUTHENTICATED).
- `403` — Insufficient permission (PERMISSION_DENIED).
- `404` — Resource not found (NOT_FOUND).
