# kosli get attestation

> Get an attestation using its name or id.  

## Synopsis

```shell theme={"theme":"dracula"}
kosli get attestation [ATTESTATION-NAME] [flags]
```

Get an attestation using its name or id.

You can get an attestation from a trail or artifact using its name. The attestation name should be given
WITHOUT dot-notation.\
To get an attestation from a trail, specify the trail name using the `--trail` flag.\
To get an attestation from an artifact, specify the artifact fingerprint using the `--fingerprint` flag.\
These flags cannot be used together. In both cases the flow must also be specified using the `--flow` flag.\
If there are multiple attestations with the same name on the trail or artifact, a list of all will be returned.

You can also get an attestation by its id using the `--attestation-id` flag. This cannot be used with the attestation name,
or any of the `--flow`, `--trail` or `--fingerprint` flags.
