# Get file information

- Server: `https://{kibana_url}`

## Paths

- `GET` `/api/endpoint/action/{action_id}/file/{file_id}`
- `GET` `/s/{space_id}/api/endpoint/action/{action_id}/file/{file_id}`

- [Api key auth](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4371/api/doc/kibana/authentication#apikeyauth)
- [Basic auth](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4371/api/doc/kibana/authentication#basicauth)

#### Path Parameters

- `action_id` (string · min: 1 · max: 256)
  The ID of the response action that generated the file.
- `file_id` (string · min: 1 · max: 256)
  The file identifier is constructed in one of two ways:
- For Elastic Defend agents (`agentType` of `endpoint`): combine the `action_id` and `agent_id` values using a dot (`.`) separator:
`{file_id}` = `{action_id}.{agent_id}`
- For all other agent types: the `file_id` is the `agent_id` for which the response action was sent to.
