# Retrieve details for a specific request

`GET /requests/{request_id}/`

Retrieve a specific request by ID. Requests can be associated with either a node or a preprint.  Depending on the type, this will return a `node-request` or a `preprint-request` resource.
A request is a formal submission for actions like access to private content, withdrawal of a preprint,  or institutional affiliation. This endpoint returns details about the request's status, creator, type, and comments.
Permissions: - Node requests: Viewable by the node's administrators and the request creator. - Preprint requests: Viewable by preprint admins, moderators (for moderated providers), and the request creator.
