Get an awards program
US Region: https://public-api.sessionboard.com · EU Region: https://public-api-eu.sessionboard.com
One program in full: its counts and review pass, the nomination form's questions, the scorecard, the winner types, every submitted nomination with its average score (scale questions only), reviewer progress, the winner announcement and its delivery progress (or null), and what the plan allows (plan: one review pass and free submissions on self-serve). Reads only. Requires read:awards; the token's user needs the Awards read permission and must manage the program. Refused for a key restricted to particular events. Also at GET /v1/awards/workspace/programs/{programId}.
