Get a label

GET/api/v2/workspaces/{slug}/projects/{project_id}/labels/{pk}/

Retrieve one label by id. Reach for this when you already hold a label id — from a work item's label_ids, or from a webhook payload — and need its current name, color, or parent.

If you only know the label by name or by your own identifier, use List labels with search or external_id instead.

Path Parameters

slug:requiredstring

The workspace slug. It appears in your Plane URLs — in https://app.plane.so/my-team/projects/, the slug is my-team.

project_id:requiredstring (uuid)

The project the label belongs to.

pk:requiredstring (uuid)

The label id.

Scopes

projects.labels:read

Errors

Status	Code	Cause
401	unauthorized	Missing or invalid credentials.
403	forbidden	Your role or token scope can't read labels.
404	resource_not_found	No such label in this project, or the workspace or project is outside your tenant.
429	rate_limited	Throttled. Honor the Retry-After header before retrying.

A real label under the wrong project is a 404

Labels are project-scoped. Pairing a valid label id with a different project's project_id returns 404, the same response you get for an id that doesn't exist anywhere — existence outside your reach is never leaked.
