# Get Info for a Validator

> Retrieve detailed information about a validator by ID, using GraphQL fragments for reusable selections.

## Overview

Use a known resource, such as a validator, to query for more details about it and the resources it's built on. This recipe uses a validator ID and fetches details about the validator, its source, segmentation, and window, using fragments where possible.

## Steps

**1. Create a fragment**

Fragments are reusable building blocks across one or more queries. This fragment expands the details of a tag, and is used for both the validator's tags and the source's tags.

**2. Construct the query**

Write a `validator` query that selects the fields you need. For the available fields, see the [API documentation](https://docs.validio.io/api-reference.md).

```python title="Python" theme={null}
import os

from validio_sdk.client import Client


async def example(validator_id: str = os.environ["EXAMPLE_VALIDATOR_ID"]):
    client = Client()
    query = """
    fragment TagsDetails on Tag {
      key
      value
    }

    query ValidatorAndSourceInfo($validatorId: ValidatorId!) {
      validator(id: $validatorId) {
        name
        state
        stats {
          lastArtifactAt
          lastIncidentAt
        }
        tags {

        sourceConfig {
