Get Encrypted Items - CyborgDB Docs

If you have added items to the index with the contents field, you can retrieve them via get().

The contents field is always returned as bytes, regardless of whether it was originally stored as a string or bytes. All contents are encoded to bytes and encrypted before storage.

# IDs of items to retrieve
ids = ["item_20", "item_11"]
include = ["contents", "metadata"]

# Retrieve items from the encrypted index (index_key is required on every data operation)
items = index.get(ids, include=include, index_key=index_key)

print(items)
# Example item (contents returned as bytes)
# [{"id": "item_20", "contents": b"Hello, World!", "metadata": {"type": "txt"}},
#  {"id": "item_11", "contents": b"Hello, Cyborg!", "metadata": {"type": "md"}}]
