# Get

### Overview

The **Get Storage Component** retrieves a stored value from a specified storage location based on a given key.

### Usage

This component is used to look up values in a storage system using a unique key, enabling structured data retrieval within workflows.

#### Input Ports

| Port | Description                                                     |
| ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `in` | Receives the key to fetch the corresponding value from storage. |

#### Output Ports

| Port       | Description                                  |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| `out`      | Emits the retrieved value if the key exists. |
| `notFound` | Emits the key if no matching value is found. |

#### Properties

| Property  | Type     | Description                                                         |
| --------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `storeId` | `string` | The ID of the storage space where the key lookup will be performed. |

#### Processing Logic

1. **Receives Lookup Key**: Accepts a key to find its corresponding value.
2. **Searches Storage**: Queries the specified `storeId` for the given key.
3. **Returns Results**:
   * If the key exists, outputs the value to `out`.
   * If no match is found, emits the key to `notFound`.

#### Output Data Schema

| Property    | Type     | Description                                   |
| ----------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| `key`       | `string` | The key of the retrieved item.                |
| `value`     | `string` | The value associated with the key.            |
| `createdAt` | `string` | The timestamp when the item was created.      |
| `updatedAt` | `string` | The timestamp when the item was last updated. |

### Notes

* **Key-Based Retrieval**: Fetches stored values based on unique keys.
* **Efficient Querying**: Enables quick access to stored data for automated workflows.
* **Supports Workflow Automation**: Useful for retrieving stored data dynamically in business processes.

This component is essential for workflows requiring structured retrieval of stored data using unique keys.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.appmixer.com/connector-configuration/utils/storage/get.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
