# Get a conversation

Private session interface. Loads one conversation using its ID.

```http theme={"system"}
GET /api/w/{wId}/assistant/conversations/{cId}
```

Base URL: `https://app.counso.ai`

## Authentication

This operation requires a user OAuth access token in `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. A signed-in browser may use its Counso session cookie. A workspace API key does not supply user identity.

| --------- | -------- | ------ | -------- | ---------------------- |
| `wId`     | path     | string | Yes      | ID of the workspace    |
| `cId`     | path     | string | Yes      | ID of the conversation |

## Responses

| HTTP status | Description                         |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------- |
| 200         | Successfully retrieved conversation |
