# Read an order

`GET /v1/orders/{operationId}`

Where an order stands. It reports state only: it never carries card codes and never moves an order forward — to recover an order, send it again.

- **Permission:** `orders:read`
- **Authentication:** Signed read
- **Staff-set limits it counts toward:** All requests
- **.NET SDK:** `anis.Orders.GetAsync(operationId)`

- Allowed with `orders:read`, or with `orders:create` for your own orders.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `operationId` (required) | `path` | UUID | A UUID, lower-case with hyphens. |

## Request

Signed with your key. No body, no nonce.

Headers: `Signature-Input`, `Signature`, `X-Anis-Date`, `Accept-Language` (optional). The SDKs set all of them for you.

**Body:** none.

## Responses

| Status | Meaning | Body |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 200 | Success. | [Order](#type-order) |
| 401 | Refused: not authenticated. | [Problem](#refusals) |
| 403 | Refused: not allowed. | [Problem](#refusals) |

| 429 | Refused: a limit was reached. | [Problem](#refusals) |
| 503 | No decision: a dependency was unavailable. | [Problem](#refusals) |

Every answer is signed by Anis; the SDKs check it before you see it.

## Refusals

Every refusal is a signed problem. Branch on its `code`; each links to what it means and what to do.

## Types

### Order

| Field | Type | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `operationId` (required) | UUID | The operation id you chose and sent as `Idempotency-Key`. |
| `status` (required) | string | `processing`: accepted, no outcome yet. `completed`: bought. `failed`: refused by a business rule, nothing bought. `recoveryExhausted`: Anis could not learn the outcome yet — it may have completed; keep resuming slowly and tell Anis. Values: `processing`, `recoveryExhausted`, `completed`, `failed` |
| `invoiceId` | UUID | The invoice the cards are on. Use it to reveal them again later. |
| `walletId` | UUID | The wallet the order was paid from. |
| `cardId` | UUID | The catalogue card bought. |
| `quantity` | integer | How many cards. |
| `total` | [Money](#type-money) | What the order cost. |
| `soldCards` | list of [RevealedCredential](#type-revealedcredential) | The card codes. Present only on the answer that FIRST reports the order completed — store them before anything else. |
| `completedAt` | string (date-time) | When the order completed. |

### Money

| Field | Type | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `amount` (required) | string | A decimal string with exactly three decimals, such as `"10.500"` — never a JSON number. |

| `asOf` | string (date-time) | When this price or balance was read. |

### RevealedCredential

| Field | Type | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `soldCardId` (required) | UUID | The sold card these codes belong to. |
| `serialNumber` | string | The card’s serial number. A secret: store it where you keep secrets and never log it. |
| `voucher` | string | The card’s voucher code. A secret: store it where you keep secrets and never log it. |
| `revealedAt` | string (date-time) | When it was revealed. |
