# shareMetadatas(for:)

Fetches share metadatas for the specified share URLs and returns them to an awaiting caller.

## Declaration

```swift
func shareMetadatas(for urls: [URL]) async throws -> [URL : Result<CKShare.Metadata, any Error>]
```

## Parameters

- `urls`: The share URLs that CloudKit uses to locate the metadatas.

## Return Value

Return Value A dictionary of fetched share metadatas. The dictionary uses the URLs you specify in urls as its keys. The value of each key is a Result that contains either the corresponding fetched share metadata, or an error that describes why CloudKit can’t fetch that share metadata.

## Discussion

Discussion This method searches for share metadatas asynchronously and with a low priority. If you want the task to execute with a higher priority, create an instance of CKFetchShareMetadataOperation and configure it to use the necessary priority.
