# Get a session transcript

`GET /projects/{projectId}/user-testing/scenarios/{scenarioId}/sessions/{sessionId}`

The projected transcript, paged. Tool payloads and blobs are dropped, and the stored blob URL is never returned.

Check `transcriptUnavailable` before trusting `messageCount`: an unreadable transcript reports `null`, never `0`.

## Request body

- object
  - `cursor` string — Opaque pagination cursor from a previous response's `nextCursor`. Don't parse it.

## Response `200`

The session and its messages.

- UserTestingSessionDetail — A session's transcript, paged. The stored blob URL is NEVER returned: it is a direct handle with no further authorization, so handing it out would turn one authorized read into an unbounded, unrevocable one.
  - `id` string, required
  - `scenarioId` string, required
  - `chatSessionId` string, nullable, required
  - `modelId` string, nullable, required
  - `startedAt` number, nullable, required — Epoch milliseconds.
  - `lastActivityAt` number, nullable, required — Epoch milliseconds.
  - `messageCount` integer, nullable, required — `null` — never `0` — when the transcript could not be read. Zero would be a claim the visitor said nothing, the opposite of what an unreadable blob means, and a caller checking only this field would act on it.
  - `transcriptUnavailable` boolean — True when the stored conversation could not be read. Distinct from an empty `messages`, which means the visitor genuinely said nothing.
  - `messages` TranscriptMessage[], required
    - `role` string, required
    - `text` string, required
    - `toolName` string
    - `createdAt` number — Epoch milliseconds.
  - `nextCursor` string

## Other responses

- `401` — Missing, invalid, revoked, or orphaned key (`UNAUTHORIZED`) — or the **target MCP server** needs an OAuth grant (`OAUTH_REQUIRED`), which is a property of the server, not your key.
- `403` — Key is valid but not allowed to do this.
- `404` — Unknown project, server, or resource.
- `429` — Per-key rate limit exceeded (60 requests/minute sustained, bursts up to 10). Honor `Retry-After` and back off with jitter.
- `500` — Something failed on MCPJam's side.
