# Get digital card access code

> Use this endpoint to retrieve the static access code for a digital card that uses access-code authentication.

###### Required parameters:
- `digitalCardId` - the digital card identifier, passed as a path parameter. Look this up via `GET /v3/digital-cards?filter[orderId]={orderId}`.

###### Behavior notes:
- Returns `{ digitalCardId, accessCode }`.
- Returns `422` if the digital card's `authentication.method` is `OTP`. Digital cards using `OTP` authentication do not have a static access code - the recipient authenticates via a one-time password delivered to their email at redemption time.
- Returns `404` if the digital card does not exist or belongs to a different Company.

        Use this endpoint to retrieve the static access code for a digital card
        that uses access-code authentication.


        ###### Required parameters:

        - `digitalCardId` - the digital card identifier, passed as a path
        parameter. Look this up via `GET
        /v3/digital-cards?filter[orderId]={orderId}`.


        ###### Behavior notes:

        - Returns `{ digitalCardId, accessCode }`.

        - Returns `422` if the digital card's `authentication.method` is `OTP`.

        code - the recipient authenticates via a one-time password delivered to
        their email at redemption time.

        - Returns `404` if the digital card does not exist or belongs to a
        different Company.
