# Retrieve Deadline

> One deadline, recomputed from office data, with its sources and change history

**Credits:** 1 per record.

Requires `portfolios:manage`. A deadline outside your organization is 404.

The mark's deadlines are recomputed from office data before the response, so the
dates are current. The response is the [deadline](https://docs.signa.so/api-reference/reference/list-deadlines.md)
plus `history`: every change, oldest first, up to the latest 200. When the
mark cannot be recomputed at the moment, the deadline is served as last computed
and the response carries a `deadlines_not_recomputed` entry in `warnings`, as on
[List Deadlines](https://docs.signa.so/api-reference/reference/list-deadlines.md#warnings).

```json theme={null}
"history": [
  {
    "at": "2026-03-02T06:01:12.000Z",
    "actor": "signa",
    "api_key_id": null,
    "cause": "enrollment",
    "field": "deadline",
    "from": null,
    "to": { "type": "renewal", "title": "Renewal — EU", "due_date": "2026-05-04" }
  },
  {
    "at": "2026-04-11T08:15:40.000Z",
    "actor": "api_key",
    "api_key_id": "key_019d2141-6ce9-771b-872e-bc8b20e49fcf",
    "cause": "user",
    "field": "status",
    "from": "open",
    "to": "done"
  }
]
```

`actor` is `signa` for a recompute and `api_key` for a change made through the
API. `cause` says why: `office_data` (the office record changed, or time moved
the deadline on), `rule_change` (a rule was corrected), `user`, or `enrollment`
(the mark joined or left the docket). `field` names the field as it appears on
the deadline, with `computation.<field>` for a computation fact.
