# Fetch a MariaDB Cluster

You can retrieve a MariaDB cluster using its `UUID`. It is found in the response body when a MariaDB cluster is created or when you retrieve a list of MariaDB clusters using `GET`.

## Request

To query a single cluster, you need the `id` from your `create` response.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**

* Remember to update your `UUID`. The sample `UUID` in the example is `498ae72f-411f-11eb-9d07-046c59cc737e`.
* Your cluster runs in the default port **3306** and you cannot modify or configure it.
  {% endhint %}

```bash
curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://mariadb.de-txl.ionos.com/clusters/498ae72f-411f-11eb-9d07-046c59cc737e' \
  -H 'accept: application/json'
```
