# Get liability report

> Returns outstanding liability as of a point in time, dimensioned by asset and program, optionally split by bucket.

Returns outstanding liability as of a point in time, broken down by asset and program. Each row carries `asset_id`, `asset_symbol`, and `scale`.

Pass `as_of` to report on a past moment (omit it for now), and `by_bucket=true` to split rows into `AVAILABLE`, `HELD`, and `DEFERRED`. Because the ledger is immutable, the same `as_of` always returns the same answer.

<Note>
  To explain why liability changed over a period, use the [liability rollforward](/api-reference/reporting/get-liability-rollforward). For usage patterns, see the [Reporting guide](/guides/reporting).

    Scrip is the operating system for rewards programs. Use this REST API to
    define earn and redemption rules, issue and redeem assets, and track every
    movement in a double-entry ledger. Full guides and reference:
    https://docs.scrip.dev


    Core concepts:

    - **Programs**: Containers for incentive logic (e.g., "Q1 Sales Bonus",
    "Customer Loyalty")

    - **Assets**: The currency or points being tracked (e.g., "Bonus Points",
    "Cash Rewards")

    - **Participants**: Users who earn and spend assets (identified by
    external_id)

    - **Groups**: Collections of participants for team-based incentives

    - **Rules**: Automated reward logic triggered by events

    - **Events**: Actions that trigger rule evaluation (e.g., "purchase",
    "referral")


    Response formats:

    - **Collection endpoints** return: {"data": [...], "pagination":
    {"has_more": true, "next_cursor": "..."}}

    - **Single-resource endpoints** return the resource directly

    - **Errors** return: {"code": "...", "message": "...", "details": {...}} —
    `details` is an optional object, present on input errors only
