# Retrieve a field

Retrieves the details of a single field using its unique `id`.

This endpoint is typically used after an envelope has been sent or completed, particularly when you need to extract the value of a field — such as the input from a text field or the selection from a dropdown. It returns a complete field object including its type, placement, styling, and assigned recipient.

Fields are created as part of the [Create Envelope](/api-reference/envelopes/create-envelope) request. If no `id` was explicitly assigned during creation, one will have been automatically generated.

## Parameters

<ParamField path="id" required>
  The unique identifier of the field you want to retrieve.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="envelope_id" required>
  The unique identifier of the envelope that the field belongs to.
</ParamField>
