# Get manifest

> Author read-back of the latest release's full manifest (including the runtime block) for edit-and-republish.

**`GET`** `https://api-datahub.octoparse.com/v1/data-apps/{app_id}/manifest`

Authentication: API key required (`Authorization: Bearer <API Key>`). App author only; others get `404`.

Author read-back of the **latest Release** full manifest (including the `runtime` block) — the data source for "edit then republish". Zero releases return `404`. Draft self-checks always go through the workspace endpoints; do not mix the two.

`runtime` is a backend artifact and never appears in public payloads such as cards or detail views, so this endpoint is author-only. `auth.secret` is only an alias into `runtime.env`; credential plaintext lives in the secret store and is never leaked on read-back. `status` and `scope` are injected from current ops state, not the original manifest values. Manifests no longer carry `identity.version`; take version numbers from the version list.
