# Retrieve a logged conversation

Requires `assistants:write`.

The full transcript of a conversation from any channel. Each answer carries the passages it relied on, the query mode, the credits it cost, how long it took in `duration_ms`, and the `rating` and `rating_comment` it received. A member's personal chat is not here and answers `resource_not_found`, as does a conversation that expired or was deleted.

The same permissions as the list apply: a person needs the right to edit assistants, and an API key reads the conversations of its own assistants. Find an id with [List the workspace's conversation logs](/docs/api/logs/list-log-conversations).

```http
GET https://api.lookio.app/v1/logs/conversations/{conversation_id}
```

## Authorizations

- `Authorization` (bearer, in header, required)

## Path parameters

- `conversation_id` (`string`, required, pattern: `^cnv_[abcdefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyz23456789]{12}$`)

## Response

**200**: Retrieve a logged conversation

- `data` (`object`, required)
- `data.id` (`string`, required, pattern: `^cnv_[abcdefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyz23456789]{12}$`)
- `data.channel` (`enum<string>`, required, one of: `widget, api, mcp`): `widget`: a visitor on your website. `api`: an API key through REST, the CLI or the SDK. `mcp`: an API key through the MCP server.
- `data.title` (`string`, required): The first question.
- `data.assistant` (`object`, required)
- `data.assistant.id` (`string`, required)
- `data.assistant.name` (`string,null`, required): Null when the assistant was deleted.
- `data.widget` (`object | null`, required): The widget, for the `widget` channel.
- `data.widget.id` (`string`, required)
- `data.widget.name` (`string`, required)
- `data.api_key` (`object | null`, required): The API key, for the `api` and `mcp` channels.
- `data.api_key.id` (`string`, required)
- `data.api_key.name` (`string,null`, required): Null once the key is deleted.
- `data.end_user` (`string,null`, required): Who was asking: a widget visitor's random id, or the `end_user` the product sent. Null when an API key sent none.
- `data.message_count` (`integer`, required): Questions and answers together.

- `data.thumbs_up` (`integer`, required)
- `data.thumbs_down` (`integer`, required)
- `data.created_at` (`string`, required)
- `data.updated_at` (`string`, required): The last activity. Conversations are listed by it, latest first.
- `data.locked` (`boolean`, required): Older than the plan keeps conversations readable (7 days on Free, 90 on Starter, 1 year on Pro, from the last activity). Its text is hidden, not yet deleted: `title` is then a date and `messages` is empty, and a higher plan shows it again.
- `data.messages` (`object[]`, required)
- `data.messages.id` (`string`, required)
- `data.messages.role` (`enum<string>`, required, one of: `user, assistant`)
- `data.messages.content` (`string`, required)
- `data.messages.citations` (`object[]`, required): The passages the answer relied on.
- `data.messages.citations.resource_id` (`string`, required): The cited resource. Empty for a public assistant of another workspace: its resources stay its own.
- `data.messages.citations.title` (`string`, required)
- `data.messages.citations.text` (`string`, required): The passage the answer relies on.
- `data.messages.citations.n` (`integer`): The number the answer cites it by, as [1].
- `data.messages.citations.section` (`string[]`)
- `data.messages.citations.page` (`integer`)
- `data.messages.citations.url` (`string`)
- `data.messages.citations.source` (`string`): The cited resource's source, when it has one.
- `data.messages.credit_cost` (`integer | null`, required): Answers only: what it cost.
- `data.messages.mode` (`string,null`, required): Answers only: the query mode.
- `data.messages.duration_ms` (`integer | null`, required): Answers only: how long it took to write.
- `data.messages.rating` (`enum<string> | null`, required): The thumb on an answer, from the visitor or forwarded by your product.
- `data.messages.rating_comment` (`string,null`, required)
- `data.messages.created_at` (`string`, required)
- `request_id` (`string`, required)
