# Use `GetNamedQuery` with an AWS SDK or CLI
<a name="athena_example_athena_GetNamedQuery_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `GetNamedQuery`.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code examples:

#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To return a named query**  
The following `get-named-query` example returns information about the query that has the specified ID.  

```
aws athena get-named-query \
    --named-query-id {{a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111}}
```
Output:  

```
{
    "NamedQuery": {
        "Name": "CloudFront Logs - SFO",
        "Description": "Shows successful GET request data for SFO",
        "Database": "default",
        "QueryString": "select date, location, browser, uri, status from cloudfront_logs where method = 'GET' and status = 200 and location like 'SFO%' limit 10",
        "NamedQueryId": "a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111",
        "WorkGroup": "AthenaAdmin"
    }
}
```
