# Get Broadcast

> GET /2/users/:user_id/broadcasts/:broadcast_id returns full current metadata for one broadcast, including live viewer counts and the announcement post ID.

**Endpoint:** `GET /2/users/:user_id/broadcasts/:broadcast_id`

<Warning>
  **This route is deprecated.** Use [`GET /2/broadcasts/:id`](/livestream-api/broadcasts/get-broadcast-by-id) instead, which omits the user ID from the path — the broadcast must still be owned by the authenticated user.
</Warning>

Returns full current metadata for one broadcast, including live viewer counts (`total_watching` / `total_watched`), `tweet_id` once published, image thumbnails, and more.

Many Broadcast fields (image URLs, `start_ms`, `tweet_id`, viewer counts, status title) only populate after publish or later in the lifecycle.

<Tip>
  The announcement post is created asynchronously after publish, so `tweet_id` is typically not present in the publish response — re-fetch the broadcast with this endpoint a moment later to read it.
