# Get a check suite

`GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/check-suites/{check_suite_id}`

Gets a single check suite using its `id`.

> [!NOTE]
> The Checks API only looks for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty `pull_requests` array and a `null` value for `head_branch`.

OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the `repo` scope to use this endpoint on a private repository.

## Path parameters

- `owner` string, required
- `repo` string, required
- `check_suite_id` integer, required

## Response `200`
