Get an RO-Crate

GET 
/ro-crate/:id

Optional core — provided when deposit.supported is true. See the Deposits guide.

Retrieve an RO-Crate. The body is deliberately lean: identity, the entities materialised from the current version, timestamps, and access. The deposited metadata document — GET /ro-crate/{id}/metadata — is the single source of truth for the RO-Crate's content inventory; the RO-Crate carries no file list of its own.

entityIds is the authoritative answer to "what did my deposit create". It is the inverse of the entity's roCrateIds and can change when later deposits (of this or other RO-Crates) alter the materialisation.

Gone - the resource has been deleted. Returned in place of 404 when the implementation declares a tombstonePolicy of "410"; the body is a tombstone describing the deletion. Under a tombstonePolicy of "404", deleted resources return 404 instead.
