## Get Vector

**get** `/v5/vector-stores/{vector_store_name}/vectors/{vector_id}`

Retrieve a single document by its unique ID.

for direct lookups when the exact document ID is known. For content similarity search,
use the query endpoint.

### Path Parameters

- `vector_store_name: string`

  The name of the vector store

- `vector_id: string`

  The ID of the vector to retrieve

### Query Parameters

- `include_vectors: optional boolean`

  Include embedding vectors

### Returns

- `VectorDocument object { id, content, metadata, vector }`

  A document returned from direct lookups (get/list operations).

  - `id: string`

    Document ID

  - `content: optional TextContent`

    Text content for documents.

    - `text: string`

    Key-value metadata

  - `vector: optional array of number`
