# Single resource fields

When you want to fetch just one resource of a given type, you can use the single resource fields. As explained in the [types](/references/graphql/schema-generation#types) section, the name of these fields is the camelcased version of the content type from which they derive or `asset`.

```graphql
type Query {
  contentModule(id: "introduction") {
    # ...
  }
  asset(id: "my-picture") {
    # ...
  }
}
```

## Arguments

The following arguments are available when querying a single resource:

| Argument            | Type    | Required | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| ------------------- | ------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `id`                | String  | `true`   | The `id` of the resource you want to fetch.                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| `preview`           | Boolean | `false`  | when set to `true` the field will be resolved with non published content. The default is `false`.                                                                                                                                                    |
| `locale`            | String  | `false`  | locale for the resource. If not set, the default locale is used.                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| `useFallbackLocale` | Boolean | `false`  | when set to `false`, fields without a value in the requested locale return `null` instead of the fallback locale. The default is `true`. See the [Disabling locale fallback](/references/graphql/locale-handling#disabling-locale-fallback) section. |
