# Retrieve an interview plan

`GET /v1/interview_plans/{interview_plan_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.yardstick.team`
- URL: `https://api.yardstick.team/v1/interview_plans/{interview_plan_id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Retrieve an interview plan

**Required scopes:** `interview_plans:read`

Read-only. Returns the published or draft plan shape visible to the caller. Published plans are org-scoped role templates: live- and test-mode tokens in the same organization may read them. Draft reads remain livemode-partitioned. Round scorecard criteria are included only from inline round data; the API does not join through `interview_versions` for plan reads. For a draft's complete builder state (all stage checkpoints, `stage_versions`, question ids), use `GET /v1/interview_plan_drafts/{draft_id}` instead.

**Example (curl):**

```bash
curl https://api.yardstick.team/v1/interview_plans/ipd_abc123 \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer ys_sk_live_…'
```

**Example (TypeScript):**

```ts
await fetch("https://api.yardstick.team/v1/interview_plans/ipd_abc123", {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.YS_API_KEY}` },
}).then((r) => r.json());
```
