  **Request Syntax**
  ::

    response = client.get_object_information(
        DirectoryArn='string',
        ObjectReference={
            'Selector': 'string'
        },
        ConsistencyLevel='SERIALIZABLE'|'EVENTUAL'
    )
    
  :type DirectoryArn: string
  :param DirectoryArn: **[REQUIRED]** 

    The ARN of the directory being retrieved.

    

  
  :type ObjectReference: dict
  :param ObjectReference: **[REQUIRED]** 

    A reference to the object.

    

  
    - **Selector** *(string) --* 

      A path selector supports easy selection of an object by the parent/child links leading to it from the directory root. Use the link names from each parent/child link to construct the path. Path selectors start with a slash (/) and link names are separated by slashes. For more information about paths, see `Access Objects <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/clouddirectory/latest/developerguide/directory_objects_access_objects.html>`__. You can identify an object in one of the following ways:

       

      
      * *$ObjectIdentifier* - An object identifier is an opaque string provided by Amazon Cloud Directory. When creating objects, the system will provide you with the identifier of the created object. An object’s identifier is immutable and no two objects will ever share the same object identifier. To identify an object with ObjectIdentifier, the ObjectIdentifier must be wrapped in double quotes.
       
      * */some/path* - Identifies the object based on path
       
      * *#SomeBatchReference* - Identifies the object in a batch call
      

      

    
  
  :type ConsistencyLevel: string
  :param ConsistencyLevel: 

    The consistency level at which to retrieve the object information.

    - *(dict) --* 
      

      - **SchemaFacets** *(list) --* 

        The facets attached to the specified object. Although the response does not include minor version information, the most recently applied minor version of each Facet is in effect. See  GetAppliedSchemaVersion for details.

        
        

        - *(dict) --* 

          A facet.

          
          

          - **SchemaArn** *(string) --* 

            The ARN of the schema that contains the facet with no minor component. See  arns and `In-Place Schema Upgrade <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/clouddirectory/latest/developerguide/schemas_inplaceschemaupgrade.html>`__ for a description of when to provide minor versions. If this value is set, FacetName must also be set.

            
          

          - **FacetName** *(string) --* 

            The name of the facet. If this value is set, SchemaArn must also be set.

            
      
    
      

      - **ObjectIdentifier** *(string) --* 

        The ``ObjectIdentifier`` of the specified object.
