  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json'

const response = await fetch('https://<your-url>/api/v2/labels/1', {

    'Accept': 'application/json',
  },

The summary and detail views are identical on this resource: every field is small enough for a list row, and nothing is includable, so include is rejected; follow project_id for the project. Reading additionally requires project_management::manage_work_items.

If-None-Matchstring

The ETag a read is conditional on. A match is answered 304 with no body.

Response 200
