## Get full step output from instance

`workflows.instances.step(strinstance_id, InstanceStepParams**kwargs)  -> InstanceStepResponse`

**get** `/accounts/{account_id}/workflows/{workflow_name}/instances/{instance_id}/step`

Retrieves the full, untruncated output for a specific step on a workflow instance. Returns a flat status-shaped JSON body with step `status` ('running' | 'waiting' | 'complete' | 'errored'), `error` (nullable), and `output` (the step value, or null while running/waiting/errored). When the step returned a ReadableStream from step.do, the response is served as 'application/octet-stream' with the raw bytes as the body instead of JSON. A `status='running'` response with non-null `error` indicates the step is currently retrying after a prior attempt failed.

### Parameters

- `account_id: str`

- `workflow_name: str`

- `instance_id: str`

- `name: str`

  Exact step name from the instance logs response, including the generated counter suffix.

- `type: Literal["step", "waitForEvent"]`

  Step type to disambiguate step.do and waitForEvent entries that share the same name.

  - `"step"`

  - `"waitForEvent"`

- `attempt: Optional[int]`

  Specific attempt number to retrieve output or error for.

### Returns

- `class InstanceStepResponse: …`

  - `error: Optional[Error]`

    Error details when status='errored'; null otherwise.

    - `message: str`

    - `name: str`

  - `status: Literal["queued", "running", "paused", 6 more]`

    - `"queued"`

    - `"running"`

    - `"paused"`

    - `"errored"`

    - `"terminated"`

    - `"complete"`

    - `"waitingForPause"`

    - `"waiting"`

    - `"rollingBack"`

  - `output: Optional[object]`

    Full step output or waitForEvent payload without truncation. Sensitive outputs are returned as '[REDACTED]'. Populated when status='complete'. May be a ReadableStream when the step returned one from step.do; stream outputs are served as application/octet-stream rather than JSON.

### Example

```python
import os
from cloudflare import Cloudflare

client = Cloudflare(
    api_token=os.environ.get("CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)
response = client.workflows.instances.step(
    instance_id="x",
    account_id="account_id",
    workflow_name="x",
    name="x",
    type="step",
)
print(response.error)
```
