# Retrieve metadata

The public REST API is fully metadata-driven. You base your REST API requests on the metadata you retrieve for entities and fields.

Reference | API request
--- | ---
Entity metadata reference | `GET .../api/shared_spaces/<space_id>/workspaces/<workspace_id>/metadata/entities`
Field metadata reference | `GET .../api/shared_spaces/<space_id>/workspaces/<workspace_id>/metadata/fields`

For details, see Examples of retrieving metadata.

Note: The metadata you can retrieve depends on the user or API key. For example, to retrieve site-level metadata, the user or API key must have access to the site level.
