# Get Operation

> Read one operation's status and error.

Every asynchronous action - a deploy, a delete, a secret write, an environment create - will run as an operation, so a `failed` state comes with the reason instead of leaving you to guess.

<Warning>
  This endpoint is not live yet. The shapes below show how it is expected to work so you can plan your
  integration, and may change before release. Calls to this path return `404` today.

## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.json get /v1/operations/{opId}
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  title: LocalOps API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    API for programmatically managing LocalOps environments and services.


    Every successful response (except `GET /health` and `DELETE
    /v1/environments/{envId}/services/{serviceId}`) is wrapped in an envelope:
    `{ "message": "success", "data": { ... } }`. Errors are returned unwrapped
    as `{ "error_code": "...", "message": "...", "errors": [...] }`.


    Deploys, deletes, secret writes and custom domain deploys are asynchronous.
    A 2xx confirms that the request was accepted and passed synchronous
    validation - observe the outcome by polling deployment state, service state
    or custom domain state.


    Endpoints badged **COMING SOON** are not live yet. Their request and
    response shapes are published so you can plan an integration, and may change
    before release - calls to those paths return `404` today.
