# Get a bot

Source: https://langbot.ai/docs/api/bots/get-bot

`GET /v1/bots/{bot_id}`

One bot: venues, linked test, status, last heartbeat and linked wallets.

**Auth.** An account token (`Authorization: Bearer lb_…`) or a signed-in web session. A report-only token (`lbr_…`) is refused here with `403 scope_denied`.

**Limits.** Counts against your plan's API requests (60, 600 or 3,000 a minute on Free, Builder and Standard).
