}Get a client
One client by id.
A 404 covers “no such client”, “not this organization’s” and a malformed
id alike, so the status cannot be used to discover which ids exist elsewhere.

}Authorizations
Workspace credential issued from the automation console at /automation. Send it as Authorization: Bearer vq_ws_.... This is NOT a Data API key: a vq_key_ credential is refused here and names the other product in the error.
Path Parameters
cli_ identifier of the client. Take it from GET /v1/clients.
Response
Successful Response
A client as this API publishes it.
Public identifier, cli_ followed by 32 hex characters.

The client's display name, as the customer entered it.

"500 Howard Street"
City or town.
"San Francisco"
State, province or region.
"CA"

"94105"
Country as free text, NOT an ISO code. matters.country is a two-letter code; this column is not.
"US"
What kind of client this is. Usually one of individual, organization or corporation, but published as a plain string because the column's CHECK is the only thing constraining it. Do not branch on it without a fallback.

Tax or company registration number.
"94-3211110"
Free-text notes the customer keeps against this client.
"Primary contact is in-house counsel, not procurement."
Arbitrary JSON the customer stores against the client. Vaquill never reads it.

"2026-08-19T14:32:10Z"
When the client was last modified (RFC 3339).
