# Get content item by path.

`GET /v2/content/path`

Get a content item corresponding to the given path.

_Path is specified in the required query parameter `path`. The path should be URL encoded._ For example, to get "Acme Corp" folder of a user "user@sumo.com" you can use the following curl command:
  ```bash
  curl https://api.sumologic.com/api/v2/content/path?path=/Library/Users/user%40sumo.com/Acme%20Corp
  ```


The absolute path to a content item should be specified to get the item. The content library has "Library" folder at the root level. For items in "Personal" folder, the base path is "/Library/Users/user@sumo.com" where "user@sumo.com" is the email address of the user. For example if a user with email address `wile@acme.com` has `Rockets` folder inside Personal folder, the path of Rockets folder will be `/Library/Users/wile@acme.com/Rockets`.

For items in "Admin Recommended" folder, the base path is "/Library/Admin Recommended". For example, given a folder `Acme` in Admin Recommended folder, the path will be `/Library/Admin Recommended/Acme`.
