# Read a script

To read an individual script in a realm, perform an HTTP GET using the `/json{/realm}/scripts` endpoint, specifying the UUID in the URL.

|   |                                                                                                                  |
| - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|   | To read a script in the Top Level Realm, or to read a built-in global script, do not specify a realm in the URL. |

The `iPlanetDirectoryPro` header is required and should contain the SSO token of an administrative user, such as `amAdmin`, who has access to perform the operation.

```bash
$ curl \
--header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5…​" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.1" \
