# Get a document by ID (path-scoped namespace)

`GET /v1/namespaces/{namespace_id}/documents/{document_id}`

Fetch a single document by document_id from a namespace named in the PATH — the mirror of POST /v1/namespaces/{namespace_id}/documents/upsert, so directly-upserted (BYO/standalone) documents can be read back on the same URL convention they were written with. Equivalent to GET /v1/documents/{document_id} with the X-Namespace header.

## Path parameters
