# Retrieve attachment

`GET /attachments/{attachmentId}`

Use this method to retrieve the details of an attachment.  

To retrieve the details of an attachment you need its attachmentId. Our gateway returned the attachmentId in the response of the [Upload Attachment to Processing Account](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/boarding/processing-accounts/upload-to-processing-account) method.  

Our gateway returns information about the attachment, including its upload status and the entity that the attachment is linked to. Our gateway doesn't return the file that you uploaded.
