# Get points

`POST /collections/{collection_name}/points`

Retrieve multiple points by specified IDs

## Path parameters

- `collection_name` string, required

## Query parameters

- `consistency` union — Read consistency parameter Defines how many replicas should be queried to get the result * `N` - send N random request and return points, which present on all of them * `majority` - send N/2+1 random request and return points, which present on all of them * `quorum` - send requests to all nodes and return points which present on majority of them * `all` - send requests to all nodes and return points which present on all of them Default value is `Factor(1)`
  - integer
  - 'majority' | 'quorum' | 'all' — * `majority` - send N/2+1 random request and return points, which present on all of them * `quorum` - send requests to all nodes and return points which present on majority of nodes * `all` - send requests to all nodes and return points which present on all nodes
- `timeout` integer
