# Retrieve a node

`GET /nodes/{node_id}/`

Retrieves the details of a given node (project or component).
#### Permissions
Only project contributors may retrieve the details of a private node. Attempting to retreive a private node for which you are not a contributor will result in a **403 Forbidden** response.

Authentication is not required to view the details of a public node, as public nodes give read-only access to everyone.
#### Returns
Returns a JSON object with a `data` key containing the representation of the requested node, if the request is successful.

If the request is unsuccessful, an `errors` key containing information about the failure will be returned. Refer to the [list of error codes](#tag/Errors-and-Error-Codes) to understand why this request may have failed.

## Path parameters

- `node_id` string, required

## Response `200`

OK
