# Get card metadata

Look up metadata for a card without linking it to a Moov account.

Only use this endpoint if you have provided Moov with a copy of your PCI attestation of compliance.

To access this endpoint using an [access token](https://docs.moov.io/api/authentication/access-tokens/) you'll need to specify the `/card-metadata.read` scope.

POST
