# /pallets/{palletId}/storage/{storageItemId} - Polkadot

Example code for the /pallets/{palletId}/storage/{storageItemId} REST method. Complete guide on how to use/pallets/{palletId}/storage/{storageItemId} REST in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

This endpoint returns the decoded value of a storage item in a pallet, resolving the required keys. It removes the need to compute storage keys or decode SCALE manually.

{% hint style="info" %}
On GetBlock's unified endpoint, Asset Hub is the default network. To call this endpoint against the Relaychain, add an `/rc` prefix to the path (for example, `/rc/pallets/{palletId}/storage/{storageItemId}`).
{% endhint %}
