# Get a connection

`GET /v1/connections/{connection_id}` · permission `connections:read`

Returns one connection. The `ETag` response header carries the version to send as `If-Match` on `PATCH` and `DELETE`.

For an enterprise connection the response also has `pending_revision_id`: the ID of the connection's pending [draft revision](revisions.md) (`connrev_…`), or `null` when there is none. The field appears only on this endpoint, and is left out if the enterprise configuration service cannot be read at that moment.

## Request

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `connection_id` | string | yes | Connection identifier (`conn_…`). |

## Response

`200 OK` with the connection.
