Accepts the run id or the report id; any personal starter or deep report the key's account owns resolves, including ones created on the preuve.ai dashboard (their analysis id is the report id, clientRunId is null). Agency client reports are outside that fallback - read those with workspace agency - and so are legacy roast reports, which answer 404. That wider reach is specific to this route, because it returns status rather than payload: export and enrich answer 403 REPORT_NOT_FROM_AGENT_RUN for a dashboard report, and such a response carries exportable false with the reason. Does not return the report payload: use export, on an analysis this API started. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.yaml get /api/agent/analyses/{id} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Preuve Agent API version: '2.0' summary: Startup idea validation for AI agents and scripts. description: > API for programmatic startup idea validation: a 0-100 viability score, competitors, market sizing and source-linked evidence from 60+ live sources. Every request carries a single x-preuve-key header holding the whole API key - no signing, no bearer token. See the Authentication guide. Every response is JSON, errors included: an unknown route answers 404 with the same { error, code } envelope as every other failure, so branch on code and never parse a message. Error codes are stable and retired ones stay listed on the Errors page. scanType "starter" costs nothing and returns a real report, which makes it the sandbox: an agent can exercise the whole create - poll - enrich - export loop without spending a cent.

No paid quota, tokens, or scans were consumed. On the CREATE routes a rate-limit window can still be: those per-account limiters are claimed ahead of schema validation on purpose, so that malformed spam is metered, and retrying unchanged spends another slot. Enrich no longer works that way - since 2026-09-15 its 12/min window is claimed after the body is validated, so a malformed enrich costs nothing. Fix the request either way; retrying it unchanged returns the same answer. content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ApiError' Unauthorized: description: > Missing x-preuve-key header (MISSING_API_KEY), or a malformed, unknown or revoked key (INVALID_AGENT_KEY - the same envelope for all three, on purpose). Repeated failures are throttled per IP and answer 429. content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ApiError' InsufficientScope: description: > The key is valid but was not granted the scope this route requires (INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE). Scopes are per route and fixed when the key is created: analysis:write to start a run, analysis:read to poll it, export:read to export, batch:write and batch:read for batches. They are never widened afterwards, so this is not retryable - the user reconnects the client and approves the missing permission, or creates a new key with it. Distinct from 401, which means the key itself was not accepted. content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ApiError' NotFound: description: > Unknown id, or the resource belongs to another account. The code names what was looked up: ANALYSIS_NOT_FOUND on the analysis routes, BATCH_NOT_FOUND on the batch ones. The analysis routes also answer REPORT_DELETED when the run exists but its report was deleted from the dashboard: nothing is left to poll, enrich or export. content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ApiError' InternalError: description: > Unexpected server error (INTERNAL_ERROR, or TRIGGER_DISPATCH_FAILED when a deep scan could not be handed to the job runner). Never tell the user their quota is safe: on a deep scan the spend can already have happened when the failure hit, and an ambiguous dispatch deliberately keeps the report and its funding because the job may have been accepted before its response was lost. Treat consumption as unknown and retry with backoff. On an operation that takes a clientRunId, retry with the SAME one - that reconciles the original run, whatever state it reached, instead of starting and charging for a second one. On every other operation there is nothing to reconcile: the read or export simply failed, so a plain backed-off retry is the whole recovery. content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ApiError' ServiceUnavailable: description: > A dependency was unavailable or deliberately paused (SERVICE_DISABLED, LLM_PAUSED, PROFILE_LOOKUP_FAILED, and the fail-closed answer when the rate-limit backend is down). Any authenticated route can answer this one: authentication meters itself through the same fail-closed limiter, so an outage there refuses the request before the handler runs. Retryable, and no paid quota, tokens, or scans were consumed - a pause that lands mid-run refunds the claim it had already made. Back off and try again rather than falling back to a different endpoint. content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ApiError' securitySchemes: preuveKey: type: apiKey in: header name: x-preuve-key description: > Your API key (prv_...), sent as-is.
