# Get a trial

> Returns one trial that your account owns, with its metadata.

* **Credential:** an API key of the account that owns the trial. A trial key returns `401 unauthorized`.
* **Line-scoped keys:** the list of lines of a [line-scoped key](/authentication#line-scoped-keys) is not applied.
* **Events:** none.
* **Personal data:** `paired_handle`, the prospect's phone number or the email address of their Apple ID. Request it only when needed, do not copy it into logs, tickets or other tools, and refer to a prospect by an id of your own.
* **Status:** `status` can still read `pairing_pending` after the pairing window ended, until `GET /v1/trial/status` is called for the trial: see [Statuses](/guides/trials#statuses).

## Errors

| Status | `error.code` | When |
| - | - | - |
| 404 | `trial_not_found` | The id is unknown, or the trial belongs to another account. |

The errors that every operation shares are in [Errors](/errors-and-rate-limits#errors).

  title: iSnap API
  version: 2.45.0
  description: >-
    The iSnap API sends and receives iMessage, RCS and SMS on real phone lines,
    manages those lines, and reports events through webhooks. Every message is
    sent to a real recipient, with an `isnap_live_` key and with an
    `isnap_test_` key alike. Retry a `429` after `Retry-After` seconds. Retry a
    `500` or a `503` up to 2 times, with exponential backoff. Do not retry any
    other `4xx`: fix the request. Retry a write only on an operation that honors
    `Idempotency-Key`, with the key of the first attempt. Responses carry
    personal data: handles, names and message text.

      summary: Get a trial
      description: >-
        Returns one trial of the account, with its metadata. Accepts an API key.
        A line-scoped key is not limited to its list on this operation. `status`
        stays `pairing_pending` after the pairing window ended, until the trial
        is read with `GET /v1/trial/status`, which revokes it. A trial of
        another account, or an unknown id, returns `404 trial_not_found`. No
        operation lists trials: keep the `trial_id` returned by `POST
        /v1/trial/init`. `paired_handle` is the handle of the prospect: this is
        personal data.
