# Get an artifact

> Get one artifact by its id (fol_…) or its address (/acme/-/artifacts/q4-roadmap-fol_…): its kind, title, space, parent_id, owner, who made it, your role, general_access, whether it is private, how many it is shared with, its excerpt, whether it may be out of date with the code it cites (stale), and html_url.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="get">GET</span><code>/workspaces/{workspace}/artifacts/{artifact_id}</code></div>

Not found when you cannot open it, as for one that does not exist. Opening a link-shared artifact this way counts as following its link.

`artifact_id` is the id, or the artifact's address (`q4-roadmap-fol_…`, or its whole link). Not found when you cannot open it, the same as when it does not exist.

- **Authentication:** Required. Send an [access token](/reference/api/#authentication) as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- **MCP tool:** [`artifact`](/reference/mcp/#artifact) with `action` `get`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`artifacts:read`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).

## Errors

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like `{"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}`. See [errors](/reference/api/#errors).

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
