# Get the identified provider resource collection

`GET /providers/{id}/{resource-collection}`

DO NOT USE THIS TO ACTUALLY MAKE AN API CALL. The 'Try it out!' button will generate a '405 Method Not Allowed' error. This is to document the response received when a request to fetch a provider resource collection is made. Additionally, the '{resource-collection}' may or may not be a hierarchical specification of nested resources. Some examples are: 'firewalls', 'regions/{id}/security-groups' etc.. The list of supported resources and their hierarchy varies from one provider to another. These resource collections are returned in the 'links' attribute for providers and can be seen by fetching a provider. These resources generally refer to a cloud provider resource and can be viewed in the cloud provider account directly.

## Response `200`

The call was successful.

- ProviderResource[] — A collection of provider resources of a particular resource type.
  - `id` string — Unique identifier to identify the resource in the cloud provider account. In certain cases, the resource name may be the same as its ID.
  - `name` string — Name given to this resource in the cloud provider account.
  - `description` string — Description of the resource as specified in the cloud provider account.
  - `summary` string — A summary description of the resource, constructed by the system automatically, to highlight the essential properties of the resource.
  - `restricted_to` object — Defines the restrictions that is placed upon this resource in relation to other provider resources. For example, a subnet resource will specify the network href that it is restricted to be used with and/or a zone href where it is limited to be used within.
