# Get a team

`GET /v1/teams/{id}`

One team (senior, women's, academy or national side) by canonical or retired
identifier. Clubs and teams are distinct; `club_id` links a club side to its
club. `name` is the dated display name at `valid_at` as known at `known_at`; a
registered team without a dated name at that date is served with `name` null and
`name_status: unavailable`, never as a 404. `known_at` limits merges, revisions and
names to those recorded by the cutoff. `include=provenance` adds, for each field
whose value is chosen among several sources, the source it was taken from (needs the
`read:sources` scope).
`403 not-entitled` (`restriction: competition`) when the caller's `entities`
grant names competitions and the team entered or played in none of them;
unknown identifiers are `404`.

Parameters:
- `id` (path, string, required): Canonical or retired team identifier (`tm_<digits>`); another kind's prefix or an undecodable body is a 400 naming `id`.
- `valid_at` (query, timestamp, optional): Business-effective instant (UTC); default is the request time.
- `known_at` (query, timestamp, optional): Knowledge cutoff (UTC); the answer reflects only what OddsFinder had recorded by this instant. Default is the request time. Must not be in the future.
- `include` (query, enum, optional): Optional blocks to add to a single-entity read. `provenance` names, for each field whose value is chosen among several sources, the source report it was taken from as known at `known_at`; it needs the `read:sources` scope (`403 not-entitled`, `restriction: scope` otherwise), and a field is `withheld` when its source holds no display right. One of: `provenance`.

Returns `200`: The team as known at the cutoff.
The body is [the team object](obj-Team.md).

Errors: `400` Malformed parameter or cursor (`invalid-request`).; `401` Missing or invalid credential (`unauthenticated`).; `403` Operation not permitted (`forbidden`) or restricted by grants/rights (`not-entitled`).; `404` Unknown identifier at the requested cutoff (`not-found`).; `422` Well-formed but unanswerable (`invalid-range`, `unsupported-historical-capability`).; `429` The per-minute rate limit is used up (`rate-limited`) or a daily allowance is exhausted (`quota-exceeded`). Failed requests (403, 404, other 4xx, 5xx) use up the per-minute rate limit too.; `500` Unexpected failure (`internal-error`); `request_id` identifies the server-side record.; `503` A service this operation depends on, or the access check, is temporarily unavailable (`unavailable`, `policy-unavailable`).
