# getMetadata

Learn how to read the metadata of the resolved content.

This method gives you the [metadata](/reference/sdk/php/api/response/slot-metadata) of the resolved content, such as its version and source.

## Signature

This method has the following signature:

```php
public function getMetadata(): ?SlotMetadata
```

This method returns the [metadata](/reference/sdk/php/api/response/slot-metadata) of the resolved content, or `null` when no metadata is available.

## Example

Here is a basic example of how to use this method:

```php
<?php
use Croct\Plug\Croct;
use Croct\Plug\FetchOptions;

$croct = Croct::fromDotenv();
$options = FetchOptions::defaults()->withSchema();
$response = $croct->fetchContent('home-banner', $options);
$metadata = $response->getMetadata();
```
