Retrieve a candidate

Retrieves a single candidate, including current partner status and v4 stage.

Authentication

AuthorizationBearer
Partner API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer cfk_...`. Keys are partner-level — one key reaches every registry linked to your partner account and nothing else. CONFIRM issues and revokes them; a key is shown exactly once at creation because only its hash is stored, and revocation takes effect on the next request. Develop against the sandbox base URL with a sandbox key, where telephony is restricted to an allowlist you provide.
