# get

Get a Label

## Usage

```
ionosctl compute label get [flags]
```

## Aliases

For `get` command:

```
[g]
```

## Description

Use this command to get a single Label from a Resource, identified by --resource-type + the resource id flag(s) + --label-key. It returns the key, value and the label's URN.
