+== Get API
+
+The get API allows to get a typed JSON document from the index based on
+its id. The following example gets a JSON document from an index called
+twitter, under a type called tweet, with id valued 1:
+
+[source,java]
+--------------------------------------------------
+GetResponse response = client.prepareGet("twitter", "tweet", "1")
+        .execute()
+        .actionGet();
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+For more information on the get operation, check out the REST
+{ref}/docs-get.html[get] docs.
+
+
+=== Operation Threading
+
+The get API allows to set the threading model the operation will be
+performed when the actual execution of the API is performed on the same
+node (the API is executed on a shard that is allocated on the same
+server).
+
+The options are to execute the operation on a different thread, or to
+execute it on the calling thread (note that the API is still async). By
+default, `operationThreaded` is set to `true` which means the operation
+is executed on a different thread. Here is an example that sets it to
+`false`:
+
+[source,java]
+--------------------------------------------------
+GetResponse response = client.prepareGet("twitter", "tweet", "1")
+        .setOperationThreaded(false)
+        .execute()
+        .actionGet();
