# Get a post

> Read a posting group, its media and individual account outcomes.

Read access: a read-enabled personal or team REST API key, or a signed-in user. OAuth clients use the corresponding MCP tool through /mcp.

Read a posting group, its media and individual account outcomes.

The root and additionalPosts represent the ordered sequence. deliveries contains a separate state for every account and postIndex. A group can be partial even if some posts were published.

MCP clients can use [`get_post`](/mcp-reference/get_post) for this operation.
