## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it do? | Reveal an organisation API key. |
| What does it take? | `org`, `id` in the path. |
| What does it return? | Status 200 with a body of type [`RevealedApiKey`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#revealedapikey). |
| What can go wrong? | `401` not signed in; `403` a member may not reveal keys (orgs.forbidden), or the request came from an origin that may not make changes; `404` no such organisation or key, or the caller is not a member of the organisation; `409` this key has no sealed copy to show; `429` too many requests; `503` revealing keys is not set up on this server, or organisations are not. Every failure uses the one error envelope. |
