# Get a Course

> Read one Course by the ID returned from a Course list or creation mutation.

Use `courseId` from [List Courses](/en/api/recipes/list-courses) or the `id` returned by `createCourse`. Send your [Administrator headers](/en/api/api-conventions#requests-and-access-mode).

```graphql theme={null}
query GetCourse($courseId: UUID!) {
  courseById(courseId: $courseId) {
    id
    name
    status
  }
}
```

```json theme={null}
{ "courseId": "<COURSE_ID>" }
```

Check the returned `id` before using the Course in a later mutation. Use Administrator mode when you need Administrator-context Course state.

See the [`courseById` query reference](/en/api/reference/queries/courseById) for its argument and return fields.
