# Get a Single Model by ID — GET /v1/models/{model} API

> GET /v1/models/{model} — retrieves details for a specific model by ID. Returns the model's id, object type, created timestamp, and owned_by provider.

Use `GET /v1/models/{model}` to look up a specific model by its ID and confirm it is available to your KiosAPI key. The response tells you which provider owns the model, making it straightforward to verify routing before you send a chat completion request.
