# Get Media Metadata

This **Node** can be used to get the metadata of a **Media** **Object**. It has two different versions depending on the `Input Type` chosen. Find in the tabs below the documentation for all versions.

## Overview

![The Get Media Metadata Node.](/files/2KUX0gqeEzJsNqPvwcK6)

The **Get Media Metadata Node** returns the *ID3* *metadata* from hard drive media, such as *.mp3* files, in **Dictionary** format. More information on *ID3* can be found [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3). Please note that videos do not have *metadata* and thus are not compatible with this **Node**.

*ID3 tags* can be investigated more in depth [here](https://exiftool.org/TagNames/ID3.html).

[**Scope**](/incari-studio/2024.1/toolbox/overview.md#scopes): **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2024.1/toolbox/incari/media/getmediametadata.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
