# Get next queue member

GET https://%7BYour_Space_Name%7D.signalwire.com/api/relay/rest/queues/{queue_id}/members/next

Retrieves the call at the front of one voice queue without removing it. Use it to inspect which waiting caller would be handled next; use [Get queue member](/docs/apis/rest/queue-members/retrieve-queue-member) for a specific member ID. This read does not dequeue or redirect the call.

#### Permissions

The API token used to authenticate must have the following scope(s) enabled to make a successful request: _Voice_.

[Learn more about API scopes](/docs/platform/your-signalwire-api-space).

Reference: https://signalwire.com/docs/apis/rest/queue-members/retrieve-next-queue-member

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (basic auth, required) — SignalWire Basic Authentication using Project ID and API Token. The client sends HTTP requests with the Authorization header containing the word Basic followed by a space and a base64-encoded string of project_id:token. The project ID will be used as the username and the API token as the password. Example: ``` Authorization: Basic base64(project_id:token) ```

## Request

### Path parameters
