Every `Page` has a [`Kind` attribute][page_kinds] that shows what kind of page it is. While this attribute can be used to list pages of a certain `kind` using `where`, often it can be useful to fetch a single page by its path.
`.GetPage` returns a page of a given `Kind` and `path`.
{{% note %}}
If the `path` is `"foo/bar.md"`, it can be written as exactly that, or broken up
into multiple strings as `"foo" "bar.md"`.
{{% /note %}}
```
{{ with .Site.GetPage "section" "blog" }}{{ .Title }}{{ end }}
```
This method wil return `nil` when no page could be found, so the above will not print anything if the blog section is not found.
For a regular page (whose `Kind` is `page`):
```
{{ with .Site.GetPage "page" "blog/my-post.md" }}{{ .Title }}{{ end }}
```
Note that the `path` can also be supplied like this, where the slash-separated
path elements are added as separate strings:
```
{{ with .Site.GetPage "page" "blog" "my-post.md" }}{{ .Title }}{{ end }}
```
## `.GetPage` Example
This code snippet---in the form of a [partial template][partials]---allows you to do the following:
1. Grab the index object of your `tags` [taxonomy][].
2. Assign this object to a variable, `$t`
3. Sort the terms associated with the taxonomy by popularity.
4. Grab the top two most popular terms in the taxonomy (i.e., the two most popular tags assigned to content.
{{< code file="grab-top-two-tags.html" >}}
<ul class="most-popular-tags">
{{ $t := .Site.GetPage "taxonomyTerm" "tags" }}
{{ range first 2 $t.Data.Terms.ByCount }}
<li>{{ . }}</li>
{{ end }}
</ul>
{{< /code >}}
## `.GetPage` on Page Bundles
If the page retrieved by `.GetPage` is a [Leaf Bundle][leaf_bundle], and you
need to get the nested _**page** resources_ in that, you will need to use the
methods in `.Resources` as explained in the [Page Resources][page_resources]
section.
See the [Headless Bundle][headless_bundle] documentation for an example.
