# Get Card Details

Returns detailed information for a specific virtual card using its unique `cardId`. Data includes the full masked card number, CVV, expiry, current balance, currency, and card status (e.g., active, blocked). This is useful for viewing card details before a transaction or for internal monitoring.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Before you begin!**

Sensitive fields like card number and CVV are returned securely for one-time use. Never cache or store these details on the client.
{% endhint %}
