Get dictionary entry — Brigg developers

Access & visibility

Allow meetings.GetDictionaryEntry on your API key. Resource read permissions: core:DictionaryEntry.

Workspace access by default. Private member data requires approved member delegation through Brigg-Act-As; the key supplies permissions while private ownership and project boundaries remain enforced.

Request fields

Send a JSON object with the following fields. Required fields must be included; omit optional fields you do not need.

idstringRequired

ID of a visible core:DictionaryEntry record. Use the relevant list operation to discover records. Use the record's top-level id, not a business field or account ID.

Response

Returns 200 OK with a JSON body.

item: null means there is no matching record visible to this caller. It does not reveal whether an inaccessible record exists.

Record metadata sits outside data. Timestamps created_at and updated_at are Unix milliseconds. Optional business fields may be absent; absence does not mean false or zero. A field accepts null only when its type includes null.

Dictionary entries help meeting transcription recognize names and specialist terms. phrase is the spelling to keep; sounds_like supplies alternative pronunciations. Editing the dictionary does not rewrite previously saved transcripts.

itemDictionaryEntryRecordRequired

null when no such record

DictionaryEntryRecord

idstringRequired

Stable core:DictionaryEntry record ID. Keep this top-level value when reading or referring to this record. Available actions are linked under Next steps; an ID does not imply the resource can be edited.

created_atnumberRequired

Time the record was created, in Unix milliseconds.

updated_atnumberRequired

Time the record most recently changed, in Unix milliseconds. Use with overlapping windows for incremental reads.

created_bystring or nullRequired

Account that originally created the record, or null for a workspace/system-originated record. This is provenance, not its current owner or a Person record ID.

privatebooleanRequired

True for a member-owned private record. An API key needs approved delegation to that owner; false alone does not bypass resource grants or other access rules.

dataDictionaryEntryRequired

The record's fields.

DictionaryEntry

Recognition vocabulary3 fields

phrasestringRequired

Correct spelling of the name or term to recognize.

sounds_likearray of stringOptional

Alternative phonetic spellings used to recognize the phrase in speech.

languagestringOptional

Recognition language code, for example en for English or no for Norwegian. Omit when the term is not tied to a language. This field is an open string, not a closed enum.

Errors & retries

This operation reads data. It needs no idempotency key and can be retried after a transient failure.

For rate limits, follow the server’s retry guidance and back off. See HTTP errors and safe retries and limits.

HTTP status	Code	What to do
400	`invalid_json`	Send a JSON object with Content-Type: application/json.
400	`invalid_input`	Check the request fields and types.
401	`invalid_key`	The workspace API key is missing, invalid or revoked.
403	`forbidden`	Check the key’s operation and resource grants. If Brigg-Act-As is supplied, the key must be authorized to delegate to that member.
404	`not_found`	The requested operation or resource is not available to this credential.
429	`rate_limited`	Wait for Retry-After before retrying.
