# Get source

> Fetch one source record by ID. Returns the same shape as the list endpoint, scoped to a single source.

Returns one source record by ID. The response shape is identical to a single entry in [List sources](/en/api-reference/list-sources) — same fields, same semantics. Use this endpoint when you have a source ID and want a focused payload, especially for polling `linkedJobStatus` during ingestion.

<Tip>
  For the end-to-end flow, see [Sources](/en/api-reference/sources). For polling guidance, see [Ingest sources](/en/api-reference/ingest-sources#polling-for-completion).
</Tip>

<Note>
  The route path and response object still use `document` naming because that is the current API contract. This page uses **source** terminology for the product model.
</Note>

## Headers

<ParamField header="Authorization" type="string" required>
  Bearer token containing your Fini workspace API key. Format: `Bearer fini_...` The key needs `read` scope.
</ParamField>

## Path parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  Source ID. Get this from [List sources](/en/api-reference/list-sources) or from the response of [Ingest sources](/en/api-reference/ingest-sources) and [Register provider resources](/en/api-reference/register-provider-resources).
</ParamField>

<RequestExample>
  ~~~bash cURL theme={null}
  curl --request GET \
    --url 'https://api-prod.usefini.com/v2/documents/public/5d9f67a8-d853-4af4-b7ce-23ebba1245e5' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer fini_your_api_key'
  ~~~

  ~~~python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  source_id = "5d9f67a8-d853-4af4-b7ce-23ebba1245e5"
  response = requests.get(
      f"https://api-prod.usefini.com/v2/documents/public/{source_id}",
      headers={"Authorization": "Bearer fini_your_api_key"},
  )
  source = response.json()
  ~~~

  ~~~javascript Node.js theme={null}
  const sourceId = "5d9f67a8-d853-4af4-b7ce-23ebba1245e5";

  const response = await fetch(
    `https://api-prod.usefini.com/v2/documents/public/${sourceId}`,
    {
      headers: {
        Authorization: "Bearer fini_your_api_key",
      },
    }
  );
  const source = await response.json();
  ~~~
</RequestExample>

## Response

The response is a single `Document` object. See [List sources → Document](/en/api-reference/list-sources#document) for the full field reference. In the product model, this object represents one source record.

<ResponseExample>
  ~~~json 200 OK theme={null}
  {
    "id": "4f5ef695-d03b-4d56-8fef-7f2bd5c17ef3",

    "url": "https://help.example.com/refunds",
    "title": "Refund policy",
