# Accessing Consented Data

Learn how contract owners or authorized applications can securely access or query the specific data that users have explicitly consented to share via a Consent Contract. This page covers the available methods, filtering capabilities, and data retrieval patterns.

### Contract Data Access <a href="#contract-data-access" id="contract-data-access"></a>

Contract owners can access data shared by consenters through:

* `getConsentedDataForContract`: Data from all consenters for a specific contract
* `getConsentedDataForDid`: Data consented between specific profiles
* `getConsentedData`: All data consented to any of your contracts

```mermaid
graph TD
    Access["Contract Data Access Methods"] --> ForContract["getConsentedDataForContract"]
    Access --> ForDid["getConsentedDataForDid"]
    Access --> AllData["getConsentedData"]

    ForContract --> ContractFilters["Filter by:<br/>  - Credential categories<br/>  - Personal data fields"]

    ForDid --> DidFilters["Filter by:<br/>  - Contract ID<br/>  - Credential categories<br/>  - Personal data fields"]

    AllData --> AllFilters["Filter by:<br/>  - Credential categories<br/>  - Personal data fields"]
```

Data queries can filter based on:

* Required credential categories
* Excluded credential categories
* Personal data fields
* Date ranges via cursor pagination

All queries return paginated results with:

* `hasMore`: Whether more records exist
* `cursor`: Pagination token for next page
* `records`: The actual data records

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.learncard.com/core-concepts/consent-and-permissions/accessing-consented-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
