Returns a broadcast owned by the authenticated user, looked up by its alphanumeric broadcast_id alone. This route replaces the deprecated Get Broadcast (GET /2/users/:user_id/broadcasts/:broadcast_id) — the owning user ID is no longer part of the path, and ownership is still enforced through the authenticated user context.

Use broadcast.fields to select which Broadcast fields to return. Many fields (image URLs, start_ms, tweet_id, viewer counts) only populate after the broadcast goes live or later in the lifecycle.

source_id is the source id of the stream source the broadcast streams from, the same value as the source’s id in Get Sources. Request it with broadcast.fields=source_id. It is omitted when the source has been deleted.

The announcement post is created asynchronously after going live, so tweet_id is typically not present immediately — re-fetch the broadcast a moment later to read it.
