# Get one temporary inbox

`GET /v1/inboxes/{id}`

- Authentication: required (Bearer token)
- Required scope: `api.inboxes.view`

One inbox's accounting: its address, when it expires, whether it is
restricted, and how many messages were delivered and dropped.

This route answers for an EXPIRED inbox too, which is deliberate — the
row is accounting and outlives the content, so "did anything arrive
before it lapsed" stays answerable. Only the messages route goes
`410`, because only the messages are gone.

A private inbox belonging to somebody else is `404`, never `403`.

## Path parameters

- `id` (string<uuid>, required) — The inbox's UUID, exactly as returned by `POST /v1/inboxes`. A value that is not a UUID is a 404 rather than a 422 — it names nothing, and saying "that is not a valid UUID" would confirm the format of ids that do exist.

## Example request

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