# Read an upload session

GET https://api.morphiaone.ai/v1/uploads/{upload_id}

One of your upload sessions: `pending` until the person's photo is stored,
then `stored` with its `asset_id`, or `expired`. `upload_url` is always null
here. Another account's session, and one that does not exist, both answer
`404 UPLOAD_NOT_FOUND`.
Requires the `digitisation.read` scope.
