# Get a product photo

> Retrieve one product photo of a scan session. A photo in any other session is a 404.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi/openapi-scanner.json get /scanner/api/v1/sessions/{session_id}/photos/{photo_id}
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Scanner API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Barcode and product scanning with vision extraction.


    ## Authentication


    All endpoints require an API key passed via the `X-API-Key` HTTP header,
    unless otherwise noted.


    ```

    X-API-Key: csb_<body>_<checksum>

    ```


    Generate API keys in **Settings > API Keys** in your dashboard, or via the
    Account API.

    Session-based (cookie) authentication is also accepted for browser-based
    access.


    ## Rate Limits


    | Tier        | Requests / minute | Requests / day |

    |-------------|-------------------|----------------|

    | Default     | 300               | 10,000         |

    | Custom      | Contact us        | Contact us     |


    Rate-limit headers are included on every response so callers can
    self-throttle without

    hitting our 429s ("informed governor"):


    - `RateLimit-Policy` — every active window, e.g. `300;w=60, 10000;w=86400`

    - `RateLimit-Limit` — quota for the **most-restrictive** currently-active
    window

    - `RateLimit-Remaining` — requests left in that window

    - `RateLimit-Reset` — seconds until that window resets (relative; clock-skew
    safe)


    Legacy `X-RateLimit-*` aliases are also emitted for back-compat.
    `X-RateLimit-Reset`

    keeps the absolute Unix-timestamp shape to avoid breaking existing
    consumers.


    When rate-limited, you receive `429 Too Many Requests` with a
    `retry_after_seconds` field

    in the error envelope and a `Retry-After` header.


    ## Pagination


    List endpoints return paginated results in this envelope:


    ```json

    {
      "data": [...],
      "pagination": {
        "page": 1,
        "page_size": 25,
        "total_count": 342,
        "total_pages": 14,
        "has_next": true,
        "has_previous": false
      }
    }

    ```


    Use `?page=2&page_size=50` query parameters. Maximum page size is 100.


    ## Error Responses


    All errors conform to [RFC 9457 Problem
    Details](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9457)

    with `Content-Type: application/problem+json`:


    ```json

    {
      "type": "https://closient.com/docs/errors/not_found",
      "title": "Not Found",
      "status": 404,
      "detail": "The requested resource was not found.",
      "error_code": "not_found",
      "retryable": false,
      "timestamp": "2026-03-31T12:00:00+00:00"
    }

    ```


    Common error codes: `unauthorized` (401), `forbidden` (403), `not_found`
    (404),

    `validation_error` (422), `rate_limited` (429), `internal_error` (500).
