# Fetch records

`GET /vectors/fetch`

Look up and return records by ID from a single namespace. The returned records include the vector data and/or metadata.
For on-demand indexes, since vector values are retrieved from object storage, fetch operations may have increased latency. If you only need metadata or IDs, consider using the query operation with `includeValues` set to `false` instead.
For guidance and examples, see [Fetch data](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/manage-data/fetch-data).
