# Get Object

## Request

Similar to [call contract](/developer-docs/api/call-contract-example.md) on the EVM, get object is used to read state of the blockchain.

There are two params

* `chain` - `mainnet` `testnet` `devnet` `localnet`
* `id` - A 32-byte globally [unique ID](https://docs.sui.io/concepts/object-model). This is used to query the current state of an object or describing which object was transferred between two addresses.
