# Get List Item

This document explains the Get List Item node, which retrieves a specific item from a list by its position.

## Node Inputs

### Required Fields

* **List**: List of items to retrieve a specific item from
* **Index**: Position of desired item (starts at 0)

## Node Output

* **Item**: Selected element from the list

## Example Use Cases

1. **API Response Processing**:

```
List: [response1, response2, response3]
Index: 0
Result: First API response only
```

2. **Data Extraction**:

```
List: ["Name", "Email", "Phone"]
Index: 1
Result: "Email" field only
```

3. **Result Selection**:

```
List: [bestMatch, secondBest, thirdBest]
Index: 0
Result: Best matching result
```

## Index Examples

```
Index: 0 → First item
Index: 1 → Second item
Index: -1 → Last item
Index: -2 → Second-to-last item
```

## Important Considerations

1. Index starts at 0
2. Negative indices allowed
3. Invalid index causes error
4. Works in loop mode
5. Maintains data type

In summary, the Get List Item node helps select specific elements from lists, essential for data processing and workflow control in Gumloop.
