# Get a control app's metadata

An app's metadata includes its Dashboard information and URLs.

2. Send a `GET` request to the endpoint for [Get a control app's metadata](/rest-api/api-reference/get-control-app-details/get-a-control-apps-metadata.md), `https://app.singular.live/apiv2/controlapps/:appToken` replacing `:appToken` with the app token for your app instance.
