# Read digitisation Evidence

GET https://api.morphiaone.ai/v1/digitisation/evidence/{evidence_id}

One of your evidence images and its `status`: `stored`, or `erased` once its
bytes are gone. Another account's evidence, and evidence that does not exist,
both answer `404 EVIDENCE_NOT_FOUND`.
Requires the `digitisation.read` scope, which your account operator provisions;
served only where digitisation is enabled for your environment.
