# Fetch a single feature

`GET /collections/{collectionId}/items/{featureId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://data.geo.admin.ch/api/stac/v1`
- URL: `https://data.geo.admin.ch/api/stac/v1/collections/{collectionId}/items/{featureId}`
- Auth: none declared

Fetch the feature with id `featureId` in the feature collection with id `collectionId`.

Use content negotiation to request HTML or GeoJSON.

## Path parameters

- `collectionId` string, required
- `featureId` string, required

- `If-Match` string
- `If-None-Match` string

## Response `200`

Fetch the feature with id `featureId` in the feature collection with id `collectionId`

- Item: A GeoJSON Feature augmented with foreign members that contain values relevant to a STAC entity
  - `id` string, required: Feature identifier (unique per collection)
  - `links` Link[], required
    - `href` string, url, required
    - `rel` string, required: Relationship between the current document and the linked document. NOTE: the following relations are reserved and automatically generated: `self`, `root`, `parent`, `items`, `collection`, `next`, `previous`
    - `title` string
    - `type` string: The media type of the link target
    - `method` 'GET' | 'POST': Specifies the HTTP method that the link expects
    - `hreflang` string: The language of the link target
  - `assets` ItemAssets, required: List of Assets attached to this feature.
  - `bbox` number[], required: The bounding box is provided as four numbers: * Lower left corner, coordinate axis 1 * Lower left corner, coordinate axis 2 * Upper right corner, coordinate axis 1 * Upper right corner, coordinate axis 2 The coordinate reference system of the values is WGS84 longitude/latitude (http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84). For WGS84 longitude/latitude the values are in most cases the sequence of minimum longitude, minimum latitude, maximum longitude and maximum latitude. However, in cases where the box spans the antimeridian the first value (west-most box edge) is larger than the third value (east-most box edge). Example: The bounding box of Switzerland in WGS 84 (from 5.96°E to 10.49°E and from 45.82°N to 47.81°N) would be represented in JSON as `[5.96, 45.82, 10.49, 47.81]` and in a query as `bbox=5.96,45.82,10.49,47.81`."

  - `properties` union, required: Provides the core metadata fields for a feature together with additional fields from the declared STAC extensions. An feature's temporal information is expressed either as a single point in time through `datetime`, or as a range through `start_datetime` and `end_datetime` (in which case `datetime` is `null`). One of these two forms is required. STAC extensions: * Every feature carries the mandatory core properties. * To use an extension's additional fields, list that extension in the `stac_extensions` array. * Declaring an extension may make some of its properties required. For example, the [Forecast extension](`https://github.com/stac-extensions/forecast`) requires `forecast:reference_datetime`.
    - object: Core STAC metadata fields for Items
      - `created` string, date-time, required: RFC 3339 compliant datetime string, time when the object was created
      - `updated` string, date-time, required: RFC 3339 compliant datetime string, time when the object was updated
      - `datetime` string, date-time: RFC 3339 compliant datetime string
      - `start_datetime` string, date-time: RFC 3339 compliant datetime string
      - `end_datetime` string, date-time: RFC 3339 compliant datetime string
      - `title` string: Human readable title of the Feature
    - object: Properties from the [STAC Timestamps extension](https://github.com/stac-extensions/timestamps)
      - `expires` string, date-time: RFC 3339 compliant datetime string
    - object: Properties from the [STAC Forecast extension](https://github.com/stac-extensions/forecast)
      - `forecast:reference_datetime` string, date-time, required: RFC 3339 compliant datetime string
      - `forecast:horizon` string: ISO 8601 compliant duration
      - `forecast:duration` string: ISO 8601 compliant duration
      - `forecast:variable` string, nullable: Name of the model variable that corresponds to the data. The variables should correspond to the [CF Standard Names](https://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-standard-names/current/build/cf-standard-name-table.html), e.g. `air_temperature` for the air temperature.
      - `forecast:perturbed` boolean, nullable: Denotes whether the data corresponds to the control run (`false`) or perturbed runs (`true`). The property needs to be specified in both cases as no default value is specified and as such the meaning is "unknown" in case it's missing.
    - object: Properties from the [STAC CF extension](https://github.com/stac-extensions/cf.
      - `cf:standard_name` string, nullable: Corresponds to the CF Standard Name from the [CF Standard Name Table](https://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-standard-names/current/build/cf-standard-name-table.html).
      - `unit` string, nullable: Corresponds to the [CF units](https://cfconventions.org/cf-conventions/cf-conventions.html#units).
  - `stac_version` string, required
  - `stac_extensions` string[]: List of STAC extensions used by this feature. Properties that are not part of the default feature properties (`datetime`, `start_datetime`, `end_datetime`, `title`, `created`, `updated`) must be covered by one of the extensions listed here, otherwise the request is rejected. Additionally, when an extension is listed here, certain properties required by that extension must be present in the `properties` field. For example, when using the Forecast extension, the `forecast:reference_datetime` property is required.
  - `type` 'Feature', required: The GeoJSON type
