**To retrieve a web ACL**

The following ``get-web-acl`` retrieves the web ACL with the specified name, scope, and ID. You can get the ID for a web ACL from the commands ``create-web-acl`` and ``list-web-acls``. ::

    aws wafv2 get-web-acl \
        --name test01 \
        --scope REGIONAL \
        --id a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111 

Output::
