# Fetching a single Expense

You can request either `GET /api/v1/expenses.json?only=5` or
`GET /api/v1/expenses/5.json`.  In both cases, default filters will be applied. Unless you
provide the `from_archived_workspaces:true` filter you won't receive expenses from archived projects,
and will get a 404 status on the "show" route.
This endpoint returns structured Expense objects.
As with all Kantata OX API endpoints, the returned data will be referenced in sorted order in the `results` array
and will be indexed by ID in the `expenses` top-level JSON key.
Please see our [Response Format](#section/Response-Format) section for more information.
