# Retrieve Data

You can access various data stored in the Eagle application through methods provided by the Eagle Plugin API, such as `files`, `folders`, `libraries`, etc. Here are some simple examples:

## **Example 1: Get the currently selected file in the application**

```javascript
let selected = await eagle.item.getSelected();
console.log(selected);
```

## **Example 2: Get files by specified conditions**

```javascript
let items = await eagle.item.get({
    ids: [],
    isSelected: true,
    isUnfiled: true,
    isUntagged: true,
    keywords: [""],
    ext: "",
    tags: [],
    folders: [],
    shape: "square",
    rating: 5,
    annotation: "",
    url: ""
});
```

## **Example 3: Get the currently selected folder in the application**

```javascript
let folders = await eagle.folder.getSelected();
```
