Read one record from FDA databases in full, with its text where the source has it. Use the record `id` exactly as a [search](https://www.assyro.com/docs/sources/openfda) returned it, URL-encoded.

## Request

`GET https://api.assyro.com/v1/sources/openfda/records/{recordId}` with these query parameters.

### Read parameters

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `recordId` | string | yes | The record id, as a search returned it (the read argument `id`). |
| `dataset` | string | yes | The dataset the id belongs to. |

## What a record holds

- `id`, `title`, `url`: the source's identifier, its title and its page at the source, to verify it.
- `authority`, `publishedDate`, `version`: who published it, when, and the edition read.
- `snippet` and `fields`: the matching text and the source's own fields.
- `asOf`: the day Assyro's copy of the source was read.
