# Retrieve Suppression

> Retrieve a single suppression by ID or email.

<Warning>
  The Suppressions API is currently in private beta and only available to a
  limited number of users. APIs might change before GA.
  [Get in touch](https://resend.com/contact) if you're interested in testing
  this feature.

  <span />

  Once you have access, upgrade your Resend SDK to use the methods on this
  page:

  <CodeGroup>
    ```bash Node.js theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
    npm install resend@6.18.0-canary.0
    ```
  </CodeGroup>
</Warning>

A suppression can be retrieved either by its ID or by the suppressed email
address.

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="suppression" type="email | id" required>
  The Suppression ID or email address.
</ParamField>

The `source_id` in the response references the email that triggered the
suppression. For suppressions with a `manual` origin, `source_id` is `null`.

<RequestExample>
  ```ts Node.js theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
  import { Resend } from 'resend';

  const resend = new Resend('re_xxxxxxxxx');

  // Retrieve by suppression id
  const { data, error } = await resend.suppressions.get(
    'e169aa45-1ecf-4183-9955-b1499d5701d3',
  );

  // Retrieve by email
  const { data, error } = await resend.suppressions.get(
    'steve.wozniak@example.com',
  );
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
  # Retrieve by suppression id
  curl -X GET 'https://api.resend.com/suppressions/e169aa45-1ecf-4183-9955-b1499d5701d3' \
