# getPlace(id, options)

Obtains a place using its identifier.

```
getPlace(id: string, options?: PlaceLookupOptions): Promise<Place>;
```

## Parameters

`id`

The Place ID that refers to the [`Place`](/documentation/MapKitJS/Place) object to fetch.

`options`

Options that can overwrite the same options set on the property or that you supplied to the [`PlaceLookup`](/documentation/MapKitJS/PlaceLookup) constructor. See [`PlaceLookupOptions`](/documentation/MapKitJS/PlaceLookupOptions).

## Return Value

A promise that resolves with a [`Place`](/documentation/MapKitJS/Place) on success, or rejects with an `Error` on failure.

## Discussion

For information about Places, see <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/MapKit/identifying-unique-locations-with-place-ids>.

Pass an `AbortSignal` from an `AbortController` to the [`signal`](/documentation/MapKitJS/PlaceLookupOptions/signal) option to allow the controller to cancel a pending request. When the controller aborts, the promise it returns rejects with a `DOMException` whose `name` is `"AbortError"`.
