# Get Collection Info

> Retrieve detailed information about a Collection on the In•Process protocol, including collection metadata, creator, admins, and timestamps.

Uses [CAIP-2](https://chainagnostic.org/CAIPs/caip-2) for the `network` segment and a CAIP-style asset reference for the `contract` segment:
- `network`: `eip155:{chainId}` (e.g. `eip155:8453` for Base)
- `contract`: `erc1155:{address}` (e.g. `erc1155:0xabc...`)

**This is a public endpoint and does not require authentication.**
