# Get a session

> Returns the session's status and active turn. If that turn is waiting for input, get the turn to read its `input_request`. You don't need an open event stream to see it.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json get /api/apps/{id}/sessions/{session_id}
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Judt API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    The Judt API creates and runs Apps. Each App has a sandbox, where you and
    agents edit and run its source, and a production deployment that serves it.


    ## Authentication


    Send an API token or an OAuth access token in the `Authorization` header.


    - **API token:** send it as a bearer token. A token belongs to one
    organization, and you create and revoke tokens in the dashboard. A token
    scoped to one App can reach only that App. An organization-wide token can
    also create a short-lived token for one App with `POST /api/tokens`, to give
    to an agent or an MCP client.

    - **OAuth access token:** an agent gets one when a person approves its
    access to one organization, so the person never handles a token. Reads need
    the `apps:read` scope, and changes need `apps:write`. To register and sign
    in, follow https://judt.ai/auth.md. Send the token as a bearer token, or
    with a DPoP proof if it's bound to a DPoP key. One access token can work on
    both this API and the MCP server at https://api.judt.ai/mcp.


    ## Sandboxes


    Creating an App reserves its address, but it doesn't start a sandbox or
    publish anything. There's no endpoint to start a sandbox. A request that
    needs the sandbox starts it first, so the first request after the sandbox
    goes idle takes longer. Files, Git, commands, commits, restores, previews,
    and deployments all need the sandbox.


    The sandbox stops on its own when it's idle. If `sandbox_status` is
    `failed`, the most recent start failed, and the API retries it while the
    sandbox is needed.


    ## Pagination


    A list returns one page at a time, in the form `{"results": [...],
    "has_more": true, "next_cursor": "CURSOR"}`. To get the next page, list
    again with `cursor` set to `next_cursor`, and the same `sort` and filters.
    Results that arrive while you page don't shift your pages. On the last page,
    `has_more` is `false`, and `next_cursor` still finds results added later.


    ## Retries


    A request that creates, changes, or deletes something returns `200` after
    the work is done, with the resource as it is afterward. To retry a request
    safely, send an `Idempotency-Key` header. For 30 days, a retry with the same
    key and input returns the first request's result instead of repeating the
    work. If you don't send a key, the API generates one and returns it in the
    `Idempotency-Key` response header. Setting and deleting a Secret take no
    key, because repeating them changes nothing. A visitor token or a preview
    link is created fresh each time, because nothing is stored to repeat.


    The API records file writes and deletes, commands, commits, and restores
    before it runs them. The response status tells you what to do next:


    - `503` or `504`: the action is recorded but not finished. To get its
    result, retry with the same key. A new key would run the action again.

    - `4xx` or `502`: the result is final. A retry with the same key returns the
    same response.


    A `504 request_timeout` response says how far the work got and which event
    to check. The work continues, and a retry with the same key picks it up.


    ## Troubleshooting


    To see what happened to an App's sandbox, deployments, and deletion, list
    its events with `GET /api/apps/{id}/events`. To see what the App's code did,
    including requests, output, exceptions, and failed builds, list its logs
    with `GET /api/apps/{id}/logs`.


    ## Time limits


    Requests have the following time limits:


    - Stopping the sandbox: 120 seconds.

    - File writes, commits, and restores: 120 seconds.

    - Commands: the command's `timeout_seconds`, up to 120 seconds, plus 60
    seconds to stop it and save its result.

    - Publishing, unpublishing, deleting an App, and changing production
    settings: 540 seconds, including any sandbox start.


    If a file write, commit, restore, or command has to start the sandbox, it
    gets up to 120 more seconds.


    ## Errors


    An error returns a JSON body in the form `{"error": {"code": "CODE",
    "message": "MESSAGE", "detail": "DETAIL", "request_id": "REQUEST_ID"}}`. The
    `code` value is stable, so check it rather than `message`. The `detail`
    value is optional. When a parameter or a body field isn't valid, the request
    returns `400 invalid_request`, `message` names the field, and `detail` lists
    every problem if there's more than one.


    When the server rejects a credential, it returns a JSON error body and sets
    the `WWW-Authenticate` header. A `401` response includes the
    `resource_metadata` URL in `WWW-Authenticate` (RFC 9728):


    | Status | Error code / header | Cause | Action |

    |---|---|---|---|

    | `401` | `unauthenticated` | The request has no credential, or the API
    token or OAuth access token is invalid, expired, or revoked. | Send a valid
    API token or OAuth access token. |

    | `401` | `invalid_token` | `WWW-Authenticate` error when an API token or
    OAuth access token is expired, revoked, or issued for a different `resource`
    audience. | Refresh the access token, or request a token for the target
    server. |

    | `401` | `invalid_dpop_proof` | The `DPoP` proof header is missing,
    expired, replayed, or signed for a different HTTP method or URL. | Create a
    new DPoP proof for the request method and URL. |

    | `403` | `insufficient_scope` | The OAuth token does not have the required
    scope (`apps:read` or `apps:write`). | Request authorization with the scope
    named in `WWW-Authenticate`. |

    | `403` | `app_scoped_token` | An App-scoped API token called `POST
    /api/apps` or `POST /api/tokens`. | Use an organization-wide API token. |

    | `403` | `api_token_required` | An OAuth access token called `POST
    /api/tokens`. | Use an organization-wide API token. |

    | `403` | `sign_in_required` | A Personal Agent Session Token was used
    before the user signed in or after the user signed out. | Tell the user to
    sign in to the Session. |

    | `403` | `forbidden` | Your organization role (`member`) does not allow
    this action. | Ask an organization `owner` or `admin` to do the action. |
