What this endpoint answers
A single finding plus the per-pass record behind it: every time the hypothesis was tested, what the effect measured, its p-value, both q-values, the account split-half result, whether it passed, and which rule stopped it when it did not. This is the evidence trail that makes a published claim checkable rather than assertable.
This is a catalog read: it is served from the CRM Solid database in milliseconds, costs one budget unit, and reports how old the reading is in meta.cache_age_s. It needs the research:read scope (Research): Findings, runs and events from the autonomous research engine.
Good to know
- Only promoted, retired and reversed hypotheses are addressable, matching what the list endpoint serves.
- The test history is capped at the 24 most recent passes.
- q_value is corrected inside the pre-registered family; q_pooled applies the same correction over the whole run as one family. Both are returned so nobody has to take the family definition on trust - if they disagree for a published row, that is worth knowing.
- Failed passes are included. A finding whose only visible history is its wins is indistinguishable from one that is never re-checked.
Parameters
Every value the call accepts, with the example the spec ships so the request runs as written.
| Name | In | Required | Example | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
id | path | required | media%7Cyes%7C*%7C*%7Cengagement%7Ceffect | Hypothesis id: dimension|bucket|stratum|peer_group|metric|kind. URL-encode it - it contains | and * characters. |
Call it
Authenticate with a bearer token or the x-api-key header. Keys are server-to-server credentials. Never embed one in front-end code - call the API from your own backend and forward the result.
curl "https://crmsolid.com/data-api/v2/research/findings/media%257Cyes%257C*%257C*%257Cengagement%257Ceffect" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer psk_live_..."
const res = await fetch("https://crmsolid.com/data-api/v2/research/findings/media%257Cyes%257C*%257C*%257Cengagement%257Ceffect", {
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.CRM_SOLID_DATA_API_KEY}`,
},
});
if (!res.ok) {
const { error } = await res.json();
throw new Error(`${error.code}: ${error.message} (${error.request_id})`);
}
const { data, meta } = await res.json();
import os
import requests
res = requests.get(
"https://crmsolid.com/data-api/v2/research/findings/media%257Cyes%257C*%257C*%257Cengagement%257Ceffect",
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['CRM_SOLID_DATA_API_KEY']}"},
timeout=30,
)
res.raise_for_status()
payload = res.json()
data, meta = payload["data"], payload["meta"]
Keys look like psk_live_... for production keys, psk_test_... for test keys and are minted in the panel.
What comes back

The meta block
request_idstringrequiredUnique id for this request. Quote it in a support ticket.
generated_atstringrequiredServer time the response was produced.
took_msintegerrequiredMilliseconds spent server-side.

cache_age_sintegeroptionalAge of the underlying data in seconds. 0 for live reads.
When it fails
GET /research/findings/{id} documents 8 failure statuses. Branch on error.code, which is stable and enumerated; message is prose and may change.
- 401Unauthorized
unauthorized | invalid_keyNo key was presented, or the key is unknown, revoked or expired.
- 402PaymentRequired
payment_required | subscription_inactiveThe key is valid but the plan behind it cannot serve the call: the included requests are spent and overage is switched off, capped or unfunded (payment_required), or the billing period lapsed and was not renewed (subscription_inactive). Retrying does not help; paying does. The X-Plan-* headers on this response say how far past the line you are.
Carries X-Plan, X-Plan-Limit, X-Plan-Overage, X-Plan-Period-End, X-Plan-Remaining.
- 403Forbidden
forbidden_scope | forbidden_ipThe key is valid but not allowed to make this call: it lacks the scope, or the request came from an address outside the key's allowlist.
- 404NotFound
not_foundThe addressed resource does not exist.
- 422InvalidRequest
invalid_requestA parameter is malformed, out of range or mutually exclusive with another. `details` names the offending fields.
- 429RateLimited
rate_limited | quota_exceededEither the burst ceiling for the current minute or the daily quota is spent. Distinguish with the code: rate_limited clears within the minute, quota_exceeded does not clear until 00:00 UTC.
Carries Retry-After, X-Quota-Limit, X-Quota-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset, X-Request-Id.
- 500InternalError
internal_errorSomething failed on our side. Internals are never leaked; quote the request id.
- 503Unavailable
upstream_timeout | upstream_error | not_configuredThe request could not be served right now. BRANCH ON error.code, not on the status: 'upstream_timeout' means a source was too slow (this is what a catalog query hitting its 15-second statement timeout returns, so it is reachable from any endpoint that reads the corpus, not only the live-scrape ones) and the same call is worth retrying with backoff - narrowing it with a smaller limit, a filtered scope or a less popular account makes it far less likely; 'upstream_error' means a source was unreachable, so back off further; 'not_configured' means the capability has no backing service in this deployment, and retrying will never help.
Every response carries X-Request-Id and meta.request_id. Quote it in support requests.
Coverage and limits
This endpoint is not platform-specific. Rate limits come from the tier on your key.
| Tier | Requests a minute | Requests a day | Live reads a minute |
|---|---|---|---|
| free | 30 | 1,000 | 5 |
| standard | 120 | 25,000 | 20 |
| pro | 600 | 250,000 | 60 |
| unlimited | 6,000 | 10,000,000 | 600 |
This call only draws on the ordinary per-minute and per-day columns. Every response reports where you stand in X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset and the X-Plan headers.
Start calling it
A key takes a minute to mint in the panel, no card. The reference covers authentication, the envelope, scopes, rate limits and every error code in one page.
