Get a Record

Fetch a single record by its AT URI.

Lexicon type: query

function handle()
  if not params.uri then
    return { error = "uri parameter is required" }
  end

  local record = db.get(params.uri)
  if not record then
    return { error = "not found" }
  end

  return { record = record }
end

How it works

1. Check that the uri query parameter is present. Return a structured error if missing.
2. Look up the record with db.get, which returns the record table or nil.
3. Return the record wrapped in an object.

Usage

GET /xrpc/xyz.statusphere.getRecord?uri=at://did:plc:abc/xyz.statusphere.record/abc123

Use case

A focused read endpoint for detail views or record verification. Returns structured error responses instead of calling error(), so the client gets a 200 with an error field it can handle gracefully rather than a 500.
