# Get a named sandbox

`GET /v2/sandboxes/{name}`

Retrieves a named sandbox by name, including its current sandbox and routes. If the sandbox is stopped and resume is true, a new sandbox will be created from the most recent snapshot.

## Path parameters

- `name` string, required — Name for the sandbox. Must be unique per project and URL-safe (alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores).

## Query parameters

- `projectId` string — The project ID or name (required when not using OIDC token).
- `resume` boolean — Whether to automatically resume a stopped named sandbox by creating a new instance from its snapshot. Defaults to false.
- `teamId` string
- `slug` string

## Response `200`

    - `updatedAt` number, required — The time when the named sandbox was last updated, in milliseconds since the epoch.
    - `expiresAt` number — The time at which the currently running sandbox will time out, in milliseconds since the epoch. Only present while a session is running.
  - `session` Session, required — This object contains information related to a Vercel Sandbox Session. v2 endpoints return "session" instead of "sandbox" as the response wrapper key.
    - `sourceSandboxName` string, required — The name of the source sandbox.
