## Why Get Flight?

The `Get Flight` API call enables you to return information about a specific flight, which can be helpful if you want to review the flight before making any changes. Because a flight can impact the overall performance of a campaign, occasionally reviewing the specifics of a particular flight for a campaign may allow you to glean insights into what changes, if any, you may want to make to an existing flight for a campaign.

## API Syntax

When using the _Create Flight_ API, it is important to understand the syntax required to make the request. Because the Kevel API is a RESTful API, there is a specific request format that must be followed to ensure the endpoint can process the request. The format is:

`GET https://api.kevel.co/v1/flight/{FlightID}`

Where:

- `GET` \- the type of API request being made.
- `https://api.kevel.co` \- the URL for the request.
- `v1` \- the API version.
- `flight` \- the API endpoint being called.
- `FlightID` \- the ID associated with the flight you want to return.
