# Get a connector

Use the `_search` endpoint to search for a connector.

To retrieve information about a connector, you can:

- [Get a connector by ID](#get-a-connector-by-id)
- [Search for a connector](#search-for-a-connector)

## Get a connector by ID

This API retrieves a connector by its ID.

GET /_plugins/_ml/connectors/<connector_id>
```

#### Example request

```json
GET /_plugins/_ml/connectors/N8AE1osB0jLkkocYjz7D
```
{% include copy-curl.html %}

#### Example response

```json
{

    }
  ]
}
```

## Search for a connector

This API searches for matching connectors using a query.

### Path and HTTP methods

    "match_all": {}
  },
  "size": 1000
}
```
{% include copy-curl.html %}

#### Example response
