# Get a directory

`GET /v1/directories/{directory_id}` · permission `directories:read`

Returns one SCIM directory with its open mass deprovision hold (`null` when none). A hold opens when one sync would deprovision too many users at once; approve or reject it with the `deprovision-holds` endpoints. The tokens' metadata is listed by `GET /v1/directories/{directory_id}/tokens`.

## Request

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `directory_id` | path | yes | SCIM directory ID (`dir_…`). |

There is no request body.

## Response

`200 OK` with the directory and its `ETag` (the `If-Match` value for `PATCH /v1/directories/{directory_id}`).
