## Get project document metadata
**get** `/v1/compliance/apps/projects/documents/{document_id}/metadata`
Returns metadata for a project document, without the content body.
Use the sibling `GET /v1/compliance/apps/projects/documents/{document_id}`
endpoint to fetch the document text. The `md5` and `size_bytes`
fields here are computed over the UTF-8 encoding of that text, so a DLP
consumer can dedupe or match hashes without downloading every document.
### Path Parameters
- `document_id: string`
The document ID (tagged ID, e.g., claude_proj_doc_abc123)
### Header Parameters
- `"x-api-key": optional string`
### Returns
- `id: string`
Project document identifier (tagged ID)
- `claude_project_id: string`
The project this document belongs to
- `created_at: string`
Document creation timestamp
- `filename: string`
Document filename
- `md5: string`
Lowercase hex MD5 of the document content (UTF-8 encoded). Matches the `content` field returned by the sibling content endpoint.
- `mime_type: "text/plain"`
MIME type of the document content, always plain text
- `"text/plain"`
- `size_bytes: number`
Size in bytes of the document content (UTF-8 encoded)
- `user: object { id, email_address } or null`
The user who created a project or project document.
Fields that reference this type are null when the creator's account has
been deleted or the creator is no longer a member of an organization the
key may read.
- `id: string`
User identifier (tagged ID)
- `email_address: string`
User's email address

```
#### Response
```json
