# Get project document metadata

GET /v1/compliance/apps/projects/documents/{document_id}/metadata

Returns metadata for a project document, without the content body.

Use the sibling GET /v1/compliance/apps/projects/documents/{document_id} endpoint to fetch the document text. The md5 and size_bytes fields here are computed over the UTF-8 encoding of that text, so a DLP consumer can dedupe or match hashes without downloading every document.

• md5: string

  Lowercase hex MD5 of the document content (UTF-8 encoded). Matches the content field returned by the sibling content endpoint.

• mime_type: "text/plain"

  MIME type of the document content, always plain text

  default: text/plain

• size_bytes: number

  Size in bytes of the document content (UTF-8 encoded)

• user: object or null

  The user who created a project or project document.

  Fields that reference this type are null when the creator's account has been deleted or the creator is no longer a member of an organization the key may read.
