# Retrieve a specific spam report

## API Overview

Spam Reports are triggered when a recipient marks one of your emails as spam. Spam reports can only be gathered from Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that provide a feedback loop.

It is important that addresses that have marked your messages as spam be permanently removed from your send list, even if the recipients have previously opted into receiving your messages. Continuing to send to customers who have reported your email as spam can severely affect your deliverability rating.

You can also access your Spam Reports from the [Suppressions settings menu in the Twilio SendGrid App](https://app.sendgrid.com/suppressions/spam_reports).

For more information, please see our [Spam Reports documentation](/docs/sendgrid/ui/analytics-and-reporting/spam-reports/).

## Operation overview

```

**This endpoint allows you to retrieve a specific spam report by email address.**

### Headers

```json
[{"in":"header","name":"Authorization","required":true,"default":"Bearer <<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>>","schema":{"type":"string"}},{"name":"on-behalf-of","in":"header","description":"The `on-behalf-of` header allows you to make API calls from a parent account on behalf of the parent's Subusers or customer accounts. You will use the parent account's API key when using this header. When making a call on behalf of a customer account, the property value should be \"account-id\" followed by the customer account's ID (e.g., `on-behalf-of: account-id <account-id>`). When making a call on behalf of a Subuser, the property value should be the Subuser's username (e.g., `on-behalf-of: <subuser-username>`). It is important to use the Base URL that corresponds to the region of the account or Subuser you specify in the `on-behalf-of` header.
