Requesting a document of any other type returns a 404. Requires the `extractions:read` scope. Rate limit: 200 requests per minute per key (the `api` lane). Reference: https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/api-reference/w2s/get-w-2 ## Authentication - `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Bearer token. Use `ss_live_…` for live data or `ss_test_…` for the sandbox (test mode). See [Authentication](https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/authentication). ## Request ### Path parameters - `borrower_id` (string, required) — The borrower's id. - `doc_id` (string, required) — The document's id. ### Headers - `SpreadSpace-Version` (string, optional) — Pin the API version, e.g. `2026-07-19`. Omit to get the latest. See [Versioning](https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/versioning). ## Response ### 200 OK - `form` ("w2", required) — Always `w2`. - `data` (W2ReportData_W2Data, required) — The boxes of the first statement in the file, with every statement of the file under `forms_w2`. - `metadata` (W2ReportData_W2Metadata, required) — How the file was read. - `k1_partners` (list of string, required) — Always empty on a Form W-2. - `statements` (list of string, required) — Always empty on a Form W-2. - `depreciation_reports` (W2ReportDataDepreciationReports, optional, nullable) — Always null on a Form W-2. ## Errors ### 400 Bad Request Error Bad request: validation failed, the cursor is malformed, or the API version is unknown. - `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope. ### 401 Unauthorized Error Unauthorized: the bearer token or API key is missing or invalid. - `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope. ### 402 Payment Required Error Payment required: the standard error envelope with `type` `subscription_required` when the workspace has no active or trialing subscription, or `billing_required` where a plan entitlement applies. - `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope. ### 403 Forbidden Error Forbidden: authentication succeeded but the caller is not permitted to perform this action, for example an API key missing the required scope, an embed session reaching a loan it was not minted for, or a feature outside the workspace's plan. - `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope. ### 404 Not Found Error Not found: the resource does not exist or is not visible to the calling tenant. - `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope. ### 429 Too Many Requests Error Too many requests: the rate limit was hit, or an idempotency-key replay is still in progress. - `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope. ### 500 Internal Server Error Internal server error: an unexpected failure. Quote the `request_id` in support tickets. A mutation sent with an `Idempotency-Key` replays this fault under that key rather than re-running; confirm the resource state before resending with a new key. - `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope. ## Types ### W2ReportData_W2Data The statements a Form W-2 upload prints, the first statement's boxes at the top level, every statement under forms_w2, and the employee's identity beside them. - `copy` (string, required, nullable) — The copy letter printed on the form (A, B, C, D, 1 or 2), when the print carries one. - `tax_year` (integer, required, nullable) — The tax year printed beside the form title. - `control_number` (string, required, nullable) — Box d, control number, as printed. - `employer_ein` (string, required, nullable) — Box b, employer identification number, masked to the last four digits. - `employer_name` (string, required, nullable) — Box c, the employer's name. - `employer_address` (string, required, nullable) — Box c, the employer's address below the name, on one line. - `employee_name` (string, required, nullable) — Box e, the employee's first name, initial and last name, as printed. - `employee_ssn_last4` (string, required, nullable) — Box a, the last four digits of the employee's social security number;
