# Retrieve a resource type

GET https://rest.test.zuora.com/scim/v2/ResourceTypes/{id}

Get related information on a single resource type.

Examples:
  ```
  /scim/v2/ResourceTypes/User
  /scim/v2/ResourceTypes/Group
  ```

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Use `Bearer {{token}}` in the `Authorization` header for authentication.

## Servers

- `https://rest.sandbox.na.zuora.com` (US API Sandbox Cloud 1)
- `https://rest.apisandbox.zuora.com` (US API Sandbox Cloud 2)
- `https://rest.na.zuora.com` (US Production Cloud 1)
- `https://rest.zuora.com` (US Production Cloud 2)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `id` (string, required)

### Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` (string, optional) — Specify a unique idempotency key if you want to perform an idempotent POST or PATCH request. Do not use this header in other request types. With this header specified, the Zuora server can identify subsequent retries of the same request using this value, which prevents the same operation from being performed multiple times by accident.
- `Accept-Encoding` (string, optional) — Include the `Accept-Encoding: gzip` header to compress responses as a gzipped file. It can significantly reduce the bandwidth required for a response. If specified, Zuora automatically compresses responses that contain over 1000 bytes of data, and the response contains a `Content-Encoding` header with the compression algorithm so that your client can decompress it.
- `Content-Encoding` (string, optional) — Include the `Content-Encoding: gzip` header to compress a request. With this header specified, you should upload a gzipped file for the request payload instead of sending the JSON payload.
- `Zuora-Track-Id` (string, optional) — A custom identifier for tracing the API call. If you set a value for this header, Zuora returns the same value in the response headers. This header enables you to associate your system process identifiers with Zuora API calls, to assist with troubleshooting in the event of an issue. The value of this field must use the US-ASCII character set and must not include any of the following characters: colon (`:`), semicolon (`;`), double quote (`"`), and quote (`'`).
- `Zuora-Entity-Ids` (string, optional) — An entity ID. If you have [Zuora Multi-entity](https://knowledgecenter.zuora.com/BB_Introducing_Z_Business/Multi-entity) enabled and the OAuth token is valid for more than one entity, you must use this header to specify which entity to perform the operation in. If the OAuth token is only valid for a single entity, or you do not have Zuora Multi-entity enabled, you should not set this header.

## Response

### 200

OK

- `schemas` (list of string, optional) — A list of URNs that specify the schemas applied to this resource. These URNs define the structure and constraints for the resource's data.
- `id` (string, optional) — A unique identifier for the resource type. This ID is used to reference the resource type in API requests.
- `name` (string, optional) — The name of the resource type. This is a human-readable identifier for the resource.
- `description` (string, optional) — A brief description of the resource type. This provides context or additional information about the resource's purpose and usage.
- `endpoint` (string, optional) — The URI path where the resource type can be accessed. This endpoint is used to interact with the resource type through the API.
- `schema` (string, optional) — The URN of the schema that defines the structure and attributes of the resource type. This schema provides the format and constraints for the resource's data.
- `schemaExtensions` (list of ScimV2ResourceTypesIdGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaSchemaExtensionsItems, optional) — A list of schema extensions that provide additional attributes for the resource type. Each extension adds new fields or constraints to the resource.
- `meta` (ScimV2ResourceTypesIdGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMeta, optional)

## Types

### ScimV2ResourceTypesIdGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaSchemaExtensionsItems

- `schema` (string, optional) — The URN of the schema extension that adds additional attributes to the resource type. This extends the base schema with extra fields or constraints.
- `required` (boolean, optional) — Indicates whether the schema extension is required for the resource type. If true, the extension must be included in resource data.

### ScimV2ResourceTypesIdGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaMeta

- `resourceType` (string, optional) — The type of resource represented by this schema. This helps identify the nature of the resource (e.g., 'ResourceType').
- `location` (string, optional) — The URI where the resource type's details can be accessed. This is useful for retrieving information about the resource type.
