# Get issue evidence

GET https://api.pensar.dev/issues/{issueId}/evidence

Each kind of evidence is null when unavailable. stdout, stderr and snippet content are each capped at 65,536 UTF-8 bytes, and `truncated` is true when a field in that object was shortened. Credentials are redacted before the cap is applied. Treat evidence as sensitive even after redaction.

Requires the `issues:read` API key scope.

Reference: https://docs.pensar.dev/api/api-reference/issues/get-issue-evidence

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — A workspace API key, sent as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- `x-api-key` header (required) — A workspace API key, sent as `x-api-key`.

## Request

### Path parameters

- `issueId` (string, required) — Issue UUID or label, e.g. `VULN-000123`.

## Response

### 200

The issue’s evidence.

- `issueId` (string, required)
- `poc` (IssueEvidencePoc, required, nullable)
- `pocOutput` (IssueEvidencePocOutput, required, nullable)
- `steps` (IssueEvidenceSteps, required, nullable) — Recorded evidence steps, in order. Null when no completed evidence summary exists. Findings summarized before artifacts were introduced carry the older step shape, with artifacts inline.
- `artifacts` (list of IssueEvidenceArtifactsItems, required, nullable)
- `evidenceStatus` (string, required, nullable) — Status of the recorded evidence summary, e.g. `ready`. Reading evidence does not generate one.
- `attackPath` (list of IssueEvidenceAttackPathItems, required, nullable) — Ordered hops of a multi-application finding.
- `codeSnippet` (IssueEvidenceCodeSnippet, required, nullable) — Read at the finding's recorded commit, never the current branch tip.
- `codeSnippetReason` (enum, required, nullable) — Why `codeSnippet` is null. Null when a snippet is returned.
  - Allowed values: `no_repository`, `no_location`, `no_commit`, `no_access`, `file_not_found`, `unsupported_repository`, `invalid_line_range`

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

The request is invalid. `error` names the field.

- `error` (string, required) — What went wrong, naming the offending value when useful.

### 401 Unauthorized Error

The API key is missing or invalid.

- `error` (string, required) — What went wrong, naming the offending value when useful.

### 403 Forbidden Error

The credential lacks the required scope or is not allowed this action.

- `error` (string, required) — What went wrong, naming the offending value when useful.

### 404 Not Found Error

The resource does not exist in this workspace.

- `error` (string, required) — What went wrong, naming the offending value when useful.

## Types

### IssueEvidencePoc

- `executedAt` (datetime, required)
