# Get a snippet

`GET /v4/snippets/{id}`

Fetches a single snippet by `id`. Unlike [List snippets](/api-reference/snippets/list-snippets), this endpoint **always returns the full `content` and `document`** — no `include_content` flag needed.

Use this when you have an `id` (e.g. stored from a prior create call) and need the current `key` and body — for example, to preview the resolved HTML or confirm a snippet still exists before referencing it as `{{ snippet.key }}` in a broadcast or sequence email. See [Create a snippet](/api-reference/snippets/create-a-snippet) for the snippet model.
