Imports · `GET /library/imports/{import_id}`

- **Base URL:** https://api.diko.app/api/v1
- **Required scope:** `library:read`
- **Rate-limit policy:** `read`, `account`
- **Authentication:** `Authorization: Bearer dk_live_...`

While it is not final the response carries `Retry-After: 3`; poll no faster than that.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `import_id` | path | `string` | yes | – | 26–26 characters; pattern: ^imp_[0-9A-Za-z]{22}$ | Public import ID (`imp_` prefix). |

## Response

### 200

The import.

- `RateLimit`: The most restrictive policy that applied: `"name";r=<requests left>;t=<seconds>`, where `t` is the number of seconds until one more request is allowed (0 when the quota is full). Absent when no rate limiter ran for the request.
- `RateLimit-Policy`: The rate-limit policies that applied to the request, one `"name";q=<burst>;w=<seconds>` item per policy, for example `"read";q=10;w=2, "account";q=20;w=2`: `q` is the burst quota and `w` the seconds in which an empty quota refills. Sent on every authenticated response; absent when no rate limiter ran for the request, for example when it was rejected before the key was checked.
- `Request-Id`: ID of this request (`req_` prefix), the same as `request_id` in an error body. It is also sent as `X-Request-ID`. Quote it when you contact support.
- `Retry-After`: Seconds to wait before the next request.
- `X-Client-Request-Id`: Your own `X-Client-Request-Id` request header, echoed back. It is sent only when the value you sent has 1-128 characters from A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ : -.
- `X-RateLimit-Limit`: Burst quota of the most restrictive policy (`q` in `RateLimit-Policy`). Absent when no rate limiter ran.
- `X-RateLimit-Remaining`: Requests left in the most restrictive policy (`r` in `RateLimit`). Absent when no rate limiter ran.
- `X-RateLimit-Reset`: Seconds until one more request is allowed in the most restrictive policy (`t` in `RateLimit`; 0 when the quota is full). It is a number of seconds, not a timestamp. Absent when no rate limiter ran.

## Errors

This endpoint can return these errors. Every code is described in the error catalog.

| HTTP | Code | Meaning | Retry? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 401 | [`missing_api_key`](https://diko.app/en/api-docs/errors.md#missing_api_key) | The request has no `Authorization` header. | no |
| 401 | [`invalid_api_key`](https://diko.app/en/api-docs/errors.md#invalid_api_key) | The header is unusable (a scheme other than `Bearer`, an empty key or more than one `Authorization` header) or the key is unknown or malformed (wrong structure or checksum). The response is identical in all these cases. | no |

| 401 | [`api_key_revoked`](https://diko.app/en/api-docs/errors.md#api_key_revoked) | The key was revoked: manually, after a rotation grace period ended, because of a leak or because the account was disabled. | no |
| 401 | [`api_key_disabled`](https://diko.app/en/api-docs/errors.md#api_key_disabled) | The key is temporarily disabled. | no |

| 403 | [`insufficient_scope`](https://diko.app/en/api-docs/errors.md#insufficient_scope) | The key lacks the scope this endpoint needs. `error.details` contains `required_scopes` and `granted_scopes`. | no |
