# 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.

# Path parameters

document_id: string

The document ID (tagged ID, e.g., claude_proj_doc_abc123)

# Headers

"x-api-key": optional string

# Returns

id: string

Project document identifier (tagged ID)
claude_project_id: string

The project this document belongs to
created_at: string

Document creation timestamp

format: date-time
filename: string

Document filename
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.
- id: string
  
  User identifier (tagged ID)
- email_address: string
  
  User's email address
