# Get dataset schema

> Returns the fields Splendor has inferred for a dataset, including their types and indexing. Use the schema to learn which fields you can filter, aggregate, and project in SQL search.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json get /v1/datasets/{dataset_id}/schema
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  description: >-
    Splendor is a search and retrieval API for your operational data. Ingest

    datasets — logs, documents, and structured records — and query them through
    one

    consistent interface that spans full-text, SQL, and semantic (vector)
    search.


    Every request authenticates with a bearer token and selects a workspace with
    the

    `X-Splendor-Tenant-Id` header. Read and query operations are available to
    any

    member; operations that create, change, or delete data require an admin
    role.


    All search modes return one shared envelope, and every result carries
    provenance

    back to the exact source object it came from.
