# Get program by ID

GET https://api.fastpix.com/v1/cloud-playout/channels/{channelId}/programs/{programId}

This endpoint retrieves a single program on a Cloud Playout loop channel, using the channel's and the program's unique identifiers.

#### How it works

1. Make a GET request to this endpoint, replacing `{channelId}` and `{programId}` with the UUIDs of the channel and the program.

2. The response contains the program, including its position in the loop, the number of items it holds, and their combined duration.

The program has to belong to the channel named in the path. A program that belongs to a different channel or workspace is not returned.

#### Example

Before adding another episode to a block, an operator retrieves the program to check how long it already runs.
