Add `include=items` to see each step it goes through, and `fields[site-actions]` for the details a listing leaves out. Only `include` and `fields` apply: `filter`, `sort` and `page` are ignored. Reference: https://api.docs.modulards.com/modular-ds-public-api/website-actions/operations/retrieve-a-site-action ## Authentication - `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Personal access token created in the Modular DS dashboard; read-only tokens can only call GET endpoints. ## Request ### Path parameters - `siteAction` (string, required) ### Query parameters - `include` (string, optional) — Related records to embed, comma-separated: `site` embeds the website, `items` embeds each step of the action, with `close_reason` (`null`, `stale` or `auto_approved`: why Modular DS closed the step on its own). - `fields[site-actions]` (string, optional) — Attributes to return, comma-separated; only those are returned. These computed attributes are left out unless named: `requires_action`, `scheduled_at`, `managed_items` (the items the action updates or changes), `clean_cache`, `is_manual`, `visual_regression` (the visual comparison of a safe update, filled only for safe updates) and `target_site` (the destination website of a migration; otherwise the action's own website; `null` when that website was deleted). `clean_cache` and `is_manual` come from the action's own options and are `null` when the action type has none. ## Response ### 200 200 - Site action - `data` (ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaData, optional) - `jsonapi` (ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaJsonapi, optional) ## Types ### ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaData - `attributes` (ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataAttributes, optional) - `id` (string, optional) - `links` (ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataLinks, optional) - `type` (string, optional) ### ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaJsonapi - `version` (string, optional) ### ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataAttributes - `clean_cache` (boolean, optional) - `completed_at` (any, optional, nullable) - `created_at` (string, optional) - `created_by` (double, optional) - `is_manual` (boolean, optional) - `managed_items` (list of ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataAttributesManagedItemsItems, optional) - `origin` (string, optional) - `requires_action` (boolean, optional) - `scheduled_at` (any, optional, nullable) - `site_id` (double, optional) - `started_at` (string, optional) - `status` (string, optional) - `target_site` (ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataAttributesTargetSite, optional) - `type` (string, optional) - `updated_at` (string, optional) - `visual_regression` (ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataAttributesVisualRegression, optional) ### ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataLinks - `self` (string, optional) ### ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataAttributesManagedItemsItems - `from_version` (string, optional) - `name` (string, optional) - `site_item_id` (double, optional) - `slug` (string, optional) - `to_version` (string, optional) - `type` (string, optional) ### ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataAttributesTargetSite - `id` (double, optional) - `slug` (string, optional) - `url` (string, optional) ### ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataAttributesVisualRegression - `change_percentage` (double, optional) - `screenshots` (ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataAttributesVisualRegressionScreenshots, optional) - `success_path` (string, optional) - `threshold` (double, optional) ### ApiPublicV1SiteActionsSiteActionGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataAttributesVisualRegressionScreenshots - `after` (string, optional) - `before` (string, optional) - `diff` (string, optional) ## Examples **Response** ```json { "data": { "attributes": { "clean_cache": true, "completed_at": null, "created_at": "2026-09-20T09:00:00.000000Z", "created_by": 501, "is_manual": false, "managed_items": [ { "from_version": "8.9.5", "name": "WooCommerce", "site_item_id": 301, "slug": "woocommerce", "to_version": "8.10.0", "type": "plugin" } ], "origin": "agent", "requires_action": true, "scheduled_at": null, "site_id": 12, "started_at": "2026-09-20T09:00:00.000000Z", "status": "requires_action", "target_site": { "id": 12, "slug": "shop", "url": "https://shop.example.com" }, "type": "manager.safe_upgrade", "updated_at": "2026-09-20T09:05:00.000000Z", "visual_regression": { "change_percentage": 1.2, "screenshots": { "after": "https://cdn.modulards.com/safe-upgrade/504/after.png?signature=abc", "before": "https://cdn.modulards.com/safe-upgrade/504/before.png?signature=abc", "diff": "https://cdn.modulards.com/safe-upgrade/504/diff.png?signature=abc" }, "success_path": "/", "threshold": 5 } }, "id": "504", "links": { "self": "{{base_url}}/api/public/v1/site-actions/504" }, "type": "site-actions" }, "jsonapi": { "version": "1.1" } } ``` **SDK Code** ```python 200 - Site action import requests url = "https://api.modulards.com/api/public/v1/site-actions/siteAction" headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer "} response = requests.get(url, headers=headers) print(response.json()) ``` ```javascript 200 - Site action const url = 'https://api.modulards.com/api/public/v1/site-actions/siteAction';
