# Fetch a Journey run

> Fetch one Journey run by id. Returns `404` for an unknown run, a run belonging to another workspace, a run past the 95-day retention window, or an Automation run id — the same body in every case, so the response never reveals whether a run exists elsewhere.

  - name: Journeys
    description: >-
      Build, version, publish, invoke, and cancel multi-step notification
      workflows, along with the templates scoped to them.

      Manage tenants — the organizations, teams, or accounts your users belong
      to — along with their users and default preferences.
  - name: Audiences
    description: >-
      Define filter-based groups whose membership Courier recalculates as user
      profiles change.

    description: >-
      Manage static groups of users that you subscribe explicitly, and send to
      them by list id or list pattern.

      Configure the channel providers Courier delivers through, and browse the
      provider types it supports.
  - name: Preference Topics
    description: >-
      Manage the workspace catalog of subscription topics, the sections that
      group them, and publishing the preference page.
  - name: User Preferences
    description: >-
      Read and write a single user's notification preferences, per topic and per
      channel.
  - name: Messages
    description: >-
      Look up the messages Courier has accepted, inspect their delivery history
      and rendered output, and cancel, resend, or archive them.
  - name: Device Tokens
    description: >-
      Register and manage the APNS and FCM device tokens Courier delivers push
      notifications to.

      associations.

      Manage the templates and template versions scoped to a single tenant,
      including the ones authored in the embedded designer.
  - name: Automations
    description: >-
      Invoke a stored automation template or an ad hoc automation defined in the
      request.

      ahead of its next scheduled delivery.

  - name: Audit Events
    description: >-
      Read the audit trail of configuration and access changes in your
      workspace.
  - name: Authentication
    description: >-
      Issue scoped, short-lived JWTs so client-side SDKs — Inbox, Preferences,
      and the embedded designer — can call Courier as a single user. Server-side
      requests authenticate with your workspace API key instead.
