# Get an API key request's status

`GET /v1/api-key-requests/{id}`

- Authentication: required (Bearer token)
- Required scope: `api.api_keys.request`

The request's status — `pending`, `approved`, `denied`, `claimed` or
`lapsed` — and what was approved. Never returns a secret. Only the
credential that made the request can read it; any other caller gets
`404`. Once `approved`, claim it within an hour (`claim_expires_at`).

## Path parameters

- `id` (string<uuid>, required) — The API key request's id, as returned when it was made.

## Example request

```bash
curl 'https://api.sendops.dev/v1/api-key-requests/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENDOPS_API_KEY"
```

### 422 — A query parameter, path value or body field failed validation.

The body is a `validation_failed` Problem. When the refusal is about a
reference — a segment key, template slug, topic or attribute name the
organization does not have — it additionally carries `validation_code`,
`field`, `line`/`column`, `missing`, `candidates` and `next_step`, so a
client can correct the call without a second round of guessing. See
`ValidationProblem`.
