# Retrieve a credential

`GET https://api.cademi.com.br/api/v3/credentials/{credential_id}`

Operation ID: `credentials.get` · API v3

Retrieves a credential by its public ID.

The `secret` object exposes only metadata, such as the last four characters and the rotation date. The secret value itself is never returned by this operation.

The response includes an `ETag` representing the current revision. Send this value in the `If-Match` header when updating the credential to avoid overwriting a newer version.

Required permissions: `credentials.read`.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
