# Fetch Items from NoSQL Table 

Catalyst enables you to fetch items from a [NoSQL](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/nosql/introduction/) table by identifying them with their [primary keys](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/nosql/components/#table-keys). For instance, you can use just the partition key or a combination of the partition key and sort key to fetch the item. You can also optionally filter the attributes to be fetched by specifying the required attributes. 

> **Note:** Catalyst enables you to fetch a maximum of 100 items from a NoSQL table in a single SDK read operation. 

The example below illustrates fetching an item identified by its partition key `fruit` and the sort key `location` using `fetch_item()`. Specific attributes such as `properties` and `taste` are filtered to be fetched using `required_objects`. 

```python
# Fetch properties of a NoSQLItem identified with the partition key and sort key
res = table.fetch_item({
   "keys": [
    {
     "fruit": {
      "S": "apple"
     },
     "location: {
      "S": "USA"
     }
    }
  ],
# Specify the attributes to be fetched
   'required_objects': ["properties", "taste"] 
 })
print(res)
```
