# Get Retention Policy
export const MultiRelatedLinks = ({sections = []}) => {
if (!sections || sections.length === 0) {
return null;
}
return
;
};
export const Link = ({href, children, className, ...props}) => {
const localizedHref = localizeLink(href);
return
{children}
;
};
To get the information for a specific Retention Policy that has been created in
an enterprise, call the `GET /retention_policies/:id` API endpoint
with the `id` of the policy.
```sh cURL theme={null}
curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/retention_policies/982312" \
-H "authorization: Bearer "
```
```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
await client.retentionPolicies.getRetentionPolicyById(retentionPolicy.id);
```
```python Python v10 theme={null}
client.retention_policies.get_retention_policy_by_id(retention_policy.id)
```
```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
await client.RetentionPolicies.GetRetentionPolicyByIdAsync(retentionPolicyId: retentionPolicy.Id);
```
```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
try await client.retentionPolicies.getRetentionPolicyById(retentionPolicyId: retentionPolicy.id)
```
```java Java v10 theme={null}
client.getRetentionPolicies().getRetentionPolicyById(retentionPolicy.getId())
```
```java Java v5 theme={null}
// Get the policy name and status for a given retention policy
BoxRetentionPolicy policy = new BoxRetentionPolicy(api, id);

```
```python Python v4 theme={null}
retention_policy = client.retention_policy(retention_id='12345').get()
print(f'Retention Policy ID is {retention_policy.id} and the name is {retention_policy.policy_name}')
```
```cs .NET v6 theme={null}
BoxRetentionPolicy policy = await client.RetentionPoliciesManager.GetRetentionPolicyAsync("11111");
```
```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
client.retentionPolicies.get('123456789').then((policy) => {
