## Declaration

```swift

```

func fetch(withRecordID recordID: CKRecord.ID) async throws -> CKRecord
```

## Parameters

- `recordID`: The identifier of the record to fetch.

## Discussion

Discussion The completion handler takes the following parameters: The requested record, or nil if CloudKit can’t provide that record. An error if a problem occurs, or nil if the fetch completes successfully. For information on a more convenient way to fetch specific records, see records(for:desiredKeys:).
