The `Get` method on a `Taxonomy` object returns a slice of [weighted pages] to which the given [term] has been assigned.
{{% include "methods/taxonomy/_common/get-a-taxonomy-object.md" %}}
## Get the weighted pages
Now that we have captured the "genres" `Taxonomy` object, let's get the weighted pages to which the "suspense" term has been assigned:
```go-html-template
{{ $weightedPages := $taxonomyObject.Get "suspense" }}
```
The above is equivalent to:
```go-html-template
{{ $weightedPages := $taxonomyObject.suspense }}
```
But, if the term is not a valid [identifier], you cannot use the [chaining] syntax. For example, this will throw an error because the identifier contains a hyphen:
```go-html-template
{{ $weightedPages := $taxonomyObject.my-genre }}
```
You could also use the [`index`] function, but the syntax is more verbose:
```go-html-template
{{ $weightedPages := index $taxonomyObject "my-genre" }}
```
To inspect the data structure:
```go-html-template
<pre>{{ jsonify (dict "indent" " ") $weightedPages }}</pre>
```
## Example
With this template:
```go-html-template
{{ $weightedPages := $taxonomyObject.Get "suspense" }}
{{ range $weightedPages }}
<h2><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></h2>
{{ end }}
```
Hugo renders:
```html
<h2><a href="/books/jamaica-inn/">Jamaica inn</a></h2>
<h2><a href="/books/death-on-the-nile/">Death on the nile</a></h2>
<h2><a href="/books/and-then-there-were-none/">And then there were none</a></h2>
