# Get a generation (https://voicelabs.now/docs/api-reference/voices-and-history/getGeneration)

Look up a generation by id to poll its status (generating, completed, or failed). A failed generation carries a human-readable `error` and a `failure_kind`; both are null otherwise. Returns 404 for an id that does not belong to this account.

Requires the `voice:read` scope.
