# Read what is known about a sender

The line the reading pane shows under an unfamiliar sender.

`GET /senders/{email}`

## GET /senders/{email}

The line the reading pane shows under an unfamiliar sender.

## Example

Needs `threads:read`. Give any address of the sender. Only its domain is read, and what is known about it is kept for the whole workspace.

**curl**

```
curl "$OE/senders/billing@stripe.com" -H "$AUTH"
```

**Response**

```
{
  "object": "sender_profile",
  "domain": "stripe.com",
  "about": "Stripe builds payment software for businesses that sell online, and operates worldwide.",
  "updatedAt": "2026-09-30T08:12:44.000Z"
}
```

> A domain nobody has looked up yet is a 404. `POST /senders/{email}/research` looks it up.
