# Get a segment instance

To know more about the component instance cache_service used below, please refer to this section.

When the segment ID is passed as a parameter, the cache implementation will refer to that particular segment. When the segment ID is not specified explicitly, then it will refer to the default segment.

#Get segment instance
cache_service = app.cache()
segment_service = cache_service.segment()
