# Get one evidence file

Source: https://checkslip.com/en/docs/get-evidence-export

GET `https://api.checkslip.com/api/audit/exports/{export_id}`

API key

The status of one evidence file by export_id. Once READY it carries the manifest (the record count and the file sha256) and expires_at. An EXPIRED file still shows its manifest but can no longer be downloaded. Another account's export_id answers 404. Uses no credit. Needs an API key with audit:read, or the web app sign-in.
