# Get a knowledge source and its config

> Retrieve one source and the configuration it was created with. Any role in the organisation can read it; for its latest run, ask for the source's latest job.

Returns `404` both for an ID that does not exist and for a source that belongs to another organization. A malformed ID also returns `404`. Any role in the organization can read a source.

To see the source's latest ingestion run, call [Get a source's latest job](/api-reference/knowledge/get-source-job).
