# Retrieve a record

> Retrieves one record by its object ID.

**Required ACL:** `search`

To retrieve more than one record, use the [`objects` operation](https://www.algolia.com/doc/rest-api/search/get-objects).

## Usage

  ```cs C# theme={"system"}
  // Initialize the client
  var client = new SearchClient(new SearchConfig("ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID", "ALGOLIA_API_KEY"));

  // Call the API
  var response = await client.GetObjectAsync(
    "<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>",
    "uniqueID",
    new List<string> { "attr1", "attr2" }
  );

  // print the response
  Console.WriteLine(response);
  ```

  ```dart Dart theme={"system"}
  // Initialize the client
  final client =
      SearchClient(appId: 'ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID', apiKey: 'ALGOLIA_API_KEY');

  // Call the API
  final response = await client.getObject(
    indexName: "<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>",
    objectID: "uniqueID",
    attributesToRetrieve: [
      "attr1",

  // print the response
  print(response);

  }

  // Call the API
  response, err := client.GetObject(client.NewApiGetObjectRequest(
    "<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>", "uniqueID").WithAttributesToRetrieve(
