## Get full step output from instance

**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.

### Path Parameters

- `account_id: string`

- `workflow_name: string`

- `instance_id: string`

### Query Parameters

- `name: string`

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

- `type: "step" or "waitForEvent"`

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

  - `"step"`

  - `"waitForEvent"`

- `attempt: optional number`

  Specific attempt number to retrieve output or error for.

### Returns

- `errors: array of object { code, message }`

  - `code: number`

  - `message: string`

- `messages: array of object { code, message }`

  - `code: number`

  - `message: string`

- `result: object { error, status, output }`

  - `error: object { message, name }`

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

    - `message: string`

    - `name: string`

  - `status: "queued" or "running" or "paused" or 6 more`

    - `"queued"`

    - `"running"`

    - `"paused"`

    - `"errored"`

    - `"terminated"`

    - `"complete"`

    - `"waitingForPause"`

    - `"waiting"`

    - `"rollingBack"`

  - `output: optional unknown`

    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.

- `success: true`

  - `true`

- `result_info: optional object { count, per_page, total_count, 3 more }`

  - `count: number`

  - `per_page: number`

  - `total_count: number`

  - `cursor: optional string`

  - `page: optional number`

  - `total_pages: optional number`
