# fetchShareMetadatas(for:completionHandler:)

Fetches share metadatas for the specified share URLs.

```
@preconcurrency func fetchShareMetadatas(for urls: [URL], completionHandler: @escaping @Sendable (Result<[URL : Result<CKShare.Metadata, any Error>], any Error>) -> Void)
```

## Parameters

`urls`

The share URLs that CloudKit uses to locate the metadatas.

`completionHandler`

The handler to execute with the fetch results.

## Discussion

The closure doesn’t return a value and takes the following parameters:

- A dictionary of fetched share metadatas. The dictionary uses the URLs you specify in `urls` as its keys. The value of each key is a <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/Result> that contains either the corresponding fetched share metadata, or an error that describes why CloudKit can’t fetch that share metadata.

This method searches for share metadatas asynchronously and with a low priority. If you want the task to execute with a higher priority, create an instance of [`CKFetchShareMetadataOperation`](/documentation/CloudKit/CKFetchShareMetadataOperation) and configure it to use the necessary priority.
