# Retrieve a budget

> Retrieves the metadata for an existing budget by its unique identifier. Returns `NotFound` when the budget does not exist in the caller's workspace. Requires a Management Key with the Budgets permission; project-scoped API keys cannot manage budgets.

      Budgets govern spend, token usage, and request rate across six scopes:

      Management keys are workspace-scoped credentials that authenticate
      programmatic access to workspace administration surfaces (API keys,

      at the workspace level.

      endpoints only return models that are not deprecated. This API is public,
      requires no authentication, and is rate limited to 120 requests per minute
      per IP. Responses carry a 5-minute cache-control max-age.

        keys). Required unless the budget is created from a `scope`, and

        BudgetUsage is the latest available current-period consumption used
         for budget enforcement, not an exact billing ledger. Each dimension is
         the consumed side of the matching limit dimension: `amount` is the
         accumulated cost in USD (vs limits.amount), `tokens` is the accumulated
         token count (vs limits.token_limit), and `requests` is the count in the
         rolling 60-second window (vs rate_limit.requests_per_minute). All three
         are explicit-presence so the triple is always emitted in full, zeros
         included — a never-spent budget serializes {amount:0, tokens:0,
         requests:0} rather than dropping its zero dimensions.

         fires at most once per period, re-arming on rollover or a limit change.
