# Retrieve a parcel

To [fetch](https://docs.commercelayer.io/core/fetching-resources) a single parcel, send a `GET` request to the `/api/parcels/:id` endpoint, where `id` is the ID of the resource that you want to retrieve.

## Request

**GET** <https://yourdomain.commercelayer.io/api/parcels/:id>

### **Example**

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Request" %}
The following request fetches the parcel identified by the ID "XAyRWNUzyN":

```shell
curl -g -X GET \
  'https://yourdomain.commercelayer.io/api/parcels/XAyRWNUzyN' \
  -H 'Accept: application/vnd.api+json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer your-access-token'
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Response" %}
On success, the API responds with a `200 OK` status code, returning a single resource object:
