# Retrieve an account

> Returns one account target by ID. Requires the `accounts:read` scope.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.yaml get /v1/accounts/{id}
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Kordless API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: |
    The Kordless API gives you programmatic access to the same verified Book,
    evaluator, and commitment mechanics that the workspace uses.

    ## Authentication

    All requests require a bearer token in the `Authorization` header:

    ```
    Authorization: Bearer sk_test_...
    ```

    Test keys use the `sk_test_` prefix; Live keys use `sk_live_`. The
    environment is encoded in the prefix — a Test key can never address Live
    data.

    ## Idempotency

    Write operations that create or mutate state require an `Idempotency-Key`
    header (up to 200 characters) so retries replay instead of duplicating.

    ## Rate limiting

    Requests are rate-limited per account and environment. The default limit is
    600 requests per minute. Responses include `ratelimit-limit`,
    `ratelimit-remaining`, and `ratelimit-reset` headers.

    ## Request IDs

    Every response includes an `x-request-id` header. Use this ID to find the
    request in the logs or when contacting support.
