# Get a test collection

> Returns one test collection. A collection in another organization is reported as `404`, not `403`.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi-v2.json get /v2/test-collections/{id}
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Trunk API
  version: 2.0.0
  description: >-
    The Trunk public API. Every endpoint is scoped to a single organization and
    requires a credential.


    ## Authentication


    Send **either** an org API key as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`, **or** a
    short-lived first-party token in the `x-trunk-token` header. Existing v1 API
    tokens work unchanged as org API keys.


    The two are not interchangeable for writes. A first-party token obtained by
    **exchanging an org API key** reads merge queues but cannot mutate them — a
    merge-queue mutation forwards the key itself to the merge service, and an
    exchanged token carries no copy of it, so those requests answer `403
    INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSIONS`. A machine caller that mutates merge queues should
    send its org API key directly on `Authorization` for every request. Tokens
    obtained through the CLI device flow are unaffected.


    **Merge-queue authorization is broad today.** The API does not offer an
    enqueue-only capability: organization members and org API keys authorized
    for merge-queue writes can also change configuration (including
    `requiredStatuses`), pause, drain and delete queues. Use such credentials as
    privileged operators, not narrowly scoped CI submission tokens.


    ## Errors


    Every 4xx and 5xx response is a `ErrorResponse`: `{ "error": { "code",
    "message" } }`. Switch on `code`, which is stable; `message` is prose and
    may change at any time.


    **An authorization denial on a read is reported as `404`, not `403`** —
    whether a resource exists must not leak across organizations, so a resource
    in another organization is indistinguishable from one that does not exist.
    `403 INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSIONS` means the credential is valid but is not
    permitted the action (or carries no organization).


    Every response carries an `X-Request-Id` header. Quote it in support
    requests.


    ## Rate limiting


    Requests are limited per organization (currently 100 requests/second).
    Exceeding it returns `429` with `RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED`; retry with backoff.
    Note that the limit is enforced at the edge, which does not yet wrap its
    `429` in the `ErrorResponse` envelope described above — treat any `429` as
    rate limiting regardless of body.


    ## Compatibility


    Within v2, Trunk may add: new endpoints, new **optional** response fields,
    new members to any enum (including new `code` values, new queue-entry
    states, and new providers), and new optional request parameters. **Clients
    must tolerate values and fields they do not recognize** rather than failing
    closed — a client that switches exhaustively over an enum will break when a
    member is added. Removals and semantic changes require a new major version.


    ## Provider support


    Merge queues, verification runs and checks are **GitHub-only** today;
    `Check.provider` has a single member for that reason. Impacted-target
    uploads additionally require a `github.com` repository named `owner/repo`.
    The `Provider` enum lists values the repository index can store, not
    surfaces that are fully supported.


    ## Not yet available


    A pull request's **position** in its queue is not exposed, and list
    responses are not ordered by queue position. There are no webhooks —
    monitoring is by polling. `Idempotency-Key` is not yet honored, so a
    mutation that times out must be reconciled by reading the resource back
    rather than blindly retried.

        **A token exchanged from an org API key reads merge queues but cannot

        that mutates merge queues should send the org API key directly as
        `Authorization: Bearer <key>` rather than exchanging it. Tokens from the
        device flow are unaffected.
