# 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 for more information.
