# Get file info

A query that returns the current state of a file. Queries do not change the state of the file or require network consensus. The information is returned from a single node processing the query.

**Query Fees**

* Please see the transaction and query [fees](/networks/fees#transaction-and-query-fees) table for the base transaction fee
* Please use the [Hedera fee estimator](https://hedera.com/fees) to estimate your query fee cost

| **Field**           | Description                                                                                       |

\
**Query Signing Requirements**

* The client operator account paying for the query fees is required to sign

| Constructor           | Description                          |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `new FileInfoQuery()` | Initializes the FileInfoQuery object |

```java theme={null}
new FileInfoQuery()
```

### Methods

| Method                | Type   | Description                                       |
| --------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `setFileId(<fileId>)` | FileId | The ID of the file to get information for (x.y.z) |

<CodeGroup>
  ```java Java theme={null}
  //Create the query
  FileInfoQuery query = new FileInfoQuery()
    .setFileId(fileId);

  //Sign the query with the client operator private key and submit to a Hedera network
  FileInfo getInfo = query.execute(client);

  System.out.println("File info response: " +getInfo);
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  //Create the query
  const query = new FileInfoQuery()
    .setFileId(fileId);

  //Sign the query with the client operator private key and submit to a Hedera network
  const getInfo = await query.execute(client);

  console.log("File info response: " + getInfo);
  ```

  ```java Go theme={null}
  //Create the query
  query := hedera.NewFileInfoQuery().
      SetFileID(newFileId)

  //Sign the query with the client operator private key and submit to a Hedera network
  getInfo, err := query.Execute(client)

  fmt.Println(getInfo)
  ```

  ```rust Rust theme={null}
  // Create the query
  let query = FileInfoQuery::new()
      .file_id(file_id);

  // Submit the query to a Hedera network
  let file_info = query.execute(&client).await?;

  // Print the file info to the console
  println!("File info: {:?}", file_info);

  // v0.34.0
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**Sample Output:**

```
FileInfo{
     fileId=0.0.104926, 
     size=26, 
     expirationTime=2021-02-10T17:48:15Z, 
     deleted=false, 
     keys=[ 302a300506032b6570032100100059296cc51f5d362a3859d3c3c74c6a480cffad9d669a10c1d447ce56e5bf
