# get place by id

This block is part of the [`places`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/places) group and was last modified in core [`v15.0.0`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/150000).

Looks up a single place by its Overture id : the block for re-resolving an id you stored earlier. Not finding it is a successful lookup with `found` false, not an error: an id can disappear between dataset releases, so branch on `found` rather than on `success`. Ids are opaque; do not parse them.

- id required `v15.0.0` `value` The Overture id, as returned in a result's `id` field.

- place `v15.0.0` `object` The full record. Empty when the id is unknown.

- found `v15.0.0` `condition` True when the id resolved. Branch on this, not on `success`.

- success `v15.0.0` `condition` True when the query ran. An empty result is still a success.

- error `v15.0.0` `value` Error code when the query could not run: `PLACES_NOT_AVAILABLE`, `ID_REQUIRED`.
