# Read Single Record
Record data is accessible via the [read()](https://www.odoo.com/documentation/16.0/developer/reference/backend/orm.html#odoo.models.Model.read), which takes a single record id and optionally a list of fields to fetch. By default, it will fetch all the fields the current user can read, which tends to be a huge amount.
