# Retrieve a Travel Data Trip

Returns a single stored trip, addressed either by its SQUAKE  or by your own
. The response is the same shape the trip list returns: the identity fields a
submission echoes back plus the trip as you described it on ingestion — name, purpose, status,
dates, booking provider, amount and the nested .

The trip carries the IDs of its activities, not the activities themselves — read those from
.

A trip you cannot access is indistinguishable from one that does not exist: both respond with
 and error code .


Endpoint: GET /v2/travel-data/trips/{id}
Security: Bearer-Auth

## Path parameters:

  - `id` (string, required)
    The trip's  (UUID) or your own  — either identifies the trip.

## Response 200 fields (application/json):

  - `id` (string, required)
    SQUAKE's identifier for the trip. Addresses the trip on every read and delete.

  - `trip_reference` (string,null, required)
    Your own reference for the trip, echoed from the request that created it. Also usable in place
of  in the trip paths.

  - `client_id` (string, required)
    The client that owns the trip — the target client when the trip was submitted with a
root-level , otherwise the submitting client itself.

  - `submitted_by_client_id` (string,null, required)
    The client whose credentials submitted the trip.  for trips that did not arrive through
 (for example CSV imports or TMC integrations). A trip re-used by a later
submission keeps the submitter that first created it.

  - `activity_ids` (array, required)
    The IDs of the trip's activities, in ingestion order, across all activity types. Individual
legs of a  flight are not listed — the routed activity carries the itinerary.

A read always lists every activity of the trip, including activities added by earlier or later
submissions — unlike the  of a submission response, which covers only what that
request wrote.

  - `trip_name` (string,null, required)
    The trip's name, echoed from ingestion.  if the source did not provide one.

  - `trip_purpose` (string,null, required)
    The trip's purpose, echoed from ingestion.  if the source did not provide one.

  - `trip_status` (string,null, required)
    The trip's status as the source reported it, echoed from ingestion. Free-form — SQUAKE neither
constrains nor normalizes the value.

  - `booking_provider` (string,null, required)
    The provider the trip was booked through (a TMC, an online booking tool), echoed from
ingestion.  if the source did not provide one.

  - `start_date_utc` (string,null, required)
    Start of the trip, in UTC. Ingestion accepts an ISO 8601 date (); it is stored and
returned as an ISO 8601 date-time (). Required on ,
so only trips from other sources can report .

  - `end_date_utc` (string,null, required)
    End of the trip, in UTC, in the same date-time format as .  if the source
did not provide one.

  - `amount_in_cents` (integer,null, required)
    The booking's own amount, in the minor unit of  (so  is ), echoed
from ingestion. SQUAKE also derives an amount in your base currency for reporting; that one is
internal and never returned here.

  - `currency` (string,null, required)
    3-letter ISO 4217 alpha code of .

  - `cost_center` (object,null, required)
    The cost center the trip is booked against, or  for a trip that has none. The key is
always present.

Only the fields that identify the cost center to you are returned — the department and the
internal id it carries in the dashboard are not part of this response.

  - `cost_center.name` (string, required)
    Name of the cost center, echoed from ingestion.

  - `cost_center.purpose` (string,null, required)
    Purpose of the cost center, echoed from ingestion.

  - `cost_center.email` (string,null, required)
    Contact email of the cost center, echoed from ingestion.

## Response 401 fields (application/json):

  - `errors` (array)

  - `errors.code` (string, required)
    An application-specific error code, expressed as a string value.

  - `errors.detail` (string)
    A human-readable explanation specific to this occurrence of the problem. Like title, this field's value can be localized.

  - `errors.source` (object)
    An object containing references to the primary source of the error

  - `errors.source.id` (string)
