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](/guides/manage-data-fetch-data).

```shell curl theme={null}
# To get the unique host for an index,
# see https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/manage-data/target-an-index
PINECONE_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
INDEX_HOST="INDEX_HOST"

curl -X GET "https://$INDEX_HOST/vectors/fetch?ids=id-1&ids=id-2&namespace=example-namespace" \
  -H "Api-Key: $PINECONE_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Pinecone-Api-Version: 2026-07"
```

`GET /vectors/fetch`

:::code-group
```bash title="cURL"
curl --request GET \
  --url https://{index_host}/vectors/fetch \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'
```

```json title="200"
{
  "namespace": "example-namespace",
  "usage": {
    "readUnits": 1
  },
  "vectors": {
    "id-1": {
      "id": "id-1",
      "values": [
        1,
        1.5
      ]
    },
    "id-2": {
      "id": "id-2",
      "values": [
        2,
        1
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
