## Read key-value pair

**get** `/accounts/{account_id}/storage/kv/namespaces/{namespace_id}/values/{key_name}`

Returns the value associated with the given key in the given namespace. Use URL-encoding to use special characters (for example, `:`, `!`, `%`) in the key name. If the KV-pair is set to expire at some point, the expiration time as measured in seconds since the UNIX epoch will be returned in the `expiration` response header.

### Path Parameters

- `account_id: string`

  Identifier.

- `namespace_id: string`

  Namespace identifier tag.

- `key_name: string`

  A key's name. The name may be at most 512 bytes. All printable, non-whitespace characters are valid. Use percent-encoding to define key names as part of a URL.
