# Get a recipient

`GET https://api.avvio.xyz/business/api/v1/recipients/{orgId}/{recipientId}`

One recipient by id.

## Parameters

- `orgId` (path, required) — The opaque organization id issued to you, normally CUID-shaped (for example `cmsx…`). It is not an `org_`-prefixed alias. Pass it unchanged in every organization-scoped path.
- `recipientId` (path, required) — Opaque recipient id returned by this API. Pass it unchanged.
- `endUserId` (query) — Your id for the person the recipient belongs to. **Pass it for anything rendered to an end user.** Without it any recipient in your organization matches, including org-wide ones your admins created. A mismatch answers 404, not 403, so the response never confirms that someone else's recipient carries this id.

## Example

```bash
curl -s "$AVVIO_BASE_URL/recipients/$AVVIO_ORG_ID/$recipientId?endUserId=customer_42" \
  -H "x-api-key: $AVVIO_API_KEY"
```

## Responses

- `200` — The recipient
- `401` — The key was refused. Nothing ran. - `UNAUTHORIZED`: missing, invalid or revoked, or a key on a route that does not accept one. - `KEY_EXPIRED`: the key passed the expiry it was issued with. Issue a new one; an expired key cannot be rotated. - `KEY_IP_NOT_ALLOWED`: the key is pinned to source addresses and this request came from another.
- `403` — A valid key that may not make this call. Nothing ran. - `FORBIDDEN`: the key belongs to a different organization. - `ACCOUNT_BLOCKED`: API access for your organization is suspended, and every key is refused until we lift it. Contact support.
- `404` — Unknown recipient
- `429` — Too many requests. The default ceiling is **100 requests per minute per API credential** on a 60-second window. High-volume payout and reconciliation routes declare a 600/minute override, and batch submission a 30/minute ceiling. A separate 2,000/minute per-source-IP abuse ceiling always applies. Obey `Retry-After`; it is in seconds and is authoritative. A 429 means the request was refused before the handler ran. Retry reads normally; retry an idempotent mutation with its same `Idempotency-Key`.
