=== Get Watch API
This API retrieves a watch by its id.
The following example gets a watch with `my-watch` id:
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
GetWatchResponse getWatchResponse = watcherClient.prepareGetWatch("my-watch").get();
--------------------------------------------------
You can access the watch definition by accessing the source of the response:
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
XContentSource source = getWatchResponse.getSource();
--------------------------------------------------
The `XContentSource` provides you methods to explore the source:
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
Map<String, Object> map = source.getAsMap();
--------------------------------------------------
Or get a specific value associated with a known key:
[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------
String host = source.getValue("input.http.request.host");
--------------------------------------------------
