# GET /v1/streams/{id}

Read a stream

Takes a server key (`sk_…`, or `sk_test_…` on a test server) as a bearer token. TypeScript: `sendora.streams.get(streamId)`. Python: `sendora.streams.get(stream_id)`.

## Parameters

- `id` (path, required, string (uuid)): The stream id.

## Responses

### 200 A stream of this server.

- `streamId` (string (uuid), required): What a send names as streamId.
- `kind` ("transactional" | "broadcast" | "inbound", required): transactional for mail the recipient expects; broadcast for mail to many; inbound for mail the server receives.
- `name` (string (at least 1, at most 100 characters), required): The name given at creation, unique within the server.
- `isDefault` (boolean, required): The stream a send without a streamId goes on; one per server, transactional.
- `createdAt` (string (date-time), required)
- `archivedAt` (string (date-time) or null, required): Set once archived; the stream then takes no new messages.
- `pausedAt` (string (date-time) or null, required): Set while Sendora has paused the stream after complaints; it takes no messages until support has resumed it.
- `inboundAddress` (string or null, required): The address of an inbound stream, its id on inbound.sendora.se; mail sent there is received on the stream. Null on every other kind.
- `contentRetentionDays` (integer (1 to 30) or null, required): How many days an inbound stream keeps received content, 1 to 30; null means the default of 30. Null on every other kind.

Example:

```json
{
  "streamId": "7c9e6679-7425-40de-944b-e07fc1f90ae7",
  "kind": "transactional",
  "name": "Notices",
  "isDefault": false,
  "createdAt": "2026-09-16T12:00:00.000Z",
  "archivedAt": null,
  "pausedAt": null,
  "inboundAddress": null,
  "contentRetentionDays": null
}
```

## Errors

Every error answers `error`, the code, and `message`, a sentence for a person. A code that adds fields is shown in full below the table.

| Code | Status | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `unauthorized` | 401 | The key is missing, malformed or revoked. |
| `wrong_token_kind` | 403 | The key is of the other kind: a server key (sk_) where an account key (ak_) is needed, or the reverse. The message names the kind the operation takes. |
| `not_found` | 404 | No such stream of this server. |
