# Get entity record
> This API is in beta. Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production.
Returns one record from one of the app's entities.
Row-level security applies to the read, so a record the caller's `rls` read rule doesn't cover reports 404, the same as a record that was never there or has been deleted.
The response carries the entity's own fields alongside the ones Base44 adds. This endpoint has no `fields` parameter, so it always returns the whole record. Use [List entity records](/api-reference/list-entity-records) when you want only some of a record's fields.
This endpoint is limited to 150 requests per minute per app.
This endpoint accepts a personal API key belonging to a user with access to the app, including a read-only key. Workspace API keys are not accepted.
