Reads one transmission by its place in the log.

GET
/v1/bridge/messages/{seq}
seq
required
integer format: int64

The transmission’s sequence number

The transmission, still sealed

Media typeapplication/json

One transmission on the Orbit command bridge, as stored and as broadcast. The server holds no key for it: body is opaque here and everywhere.

object
authorId

Who transmitted, or absent once that account is deleted. The words stay until they age out; the attribution goes at once.

string format: uuid
body
required

Base64 sealed body, padded to one fixed width before sealing so its length says nothing about what was typed.

string
createdAt
required
string format: date-time
epochId
required

Base64 fingerprint of the key this was sealed under.

string
seq
required

The bridge’s total order. Also the page cursor and the client’s last-seen marker, so all three can never disagree.

integer format: int64
