# Retrieve a specific GPU in a VM

This topic explains how to retrieve the details of a single, specific Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) attached to the Cloud GPU VM.

## Endpoint

Use the following endpoint for templates: `https://api.ionos.com/cloudapi/v6/datacenters/{datacenterId}/servers/{serverId}/gpus/{gpuId}`

## Request

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The following request contains sample values. Remember to replace them with the relevant information.
{% endhint %}

```bash
curl --location \
--request GET 'https://api.ionos.com/cloudapi/v6/datacenters/{datacenterId}/servers/{serverId}/gpus/{gpuId}' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJraWQiO' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
```

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Header Parameters" %}
To make authenticated requests to the API, the following fields are mandatory in the request header:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/compute-services/compute-engine/cloud-gpu-vm/api-how-tos/retrieve-specific-cloud-gpu-vm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
