+### Fetch a database's content
+
+You can pass a database ID to the `getPage` method. The response is an object which contains several important properties:
+
+- `block`
+- `collection`
+- `collection_view`
+
+The value of the `block` property maps the id of each block object present in the database to its corresponding properties like type, parent id, created time, last edited by, and more. 
+
+```
+{
+  block: {
+    'cc368b47-772a-4a1a-a36e-1f52c507d20d': { role: 'reader', value: [Object] },
+    '97dbe6d5-aea3-4e03-b571-91810cf975d4': { role: 'reader', value: [Object] },
+    '08d5ba1e-03d2-4d4a-add7-a414f297ff8a': { role: 'reader', value: [Object] },
+    '7aad4627-c4af-4314-960e-1465e76cc6bd': { role: 'reader', value: [Object] },
+    '7be73360-19b9-4b77-a518-70acd610d492': { role: 'reader', value: [Object] },
+    'af961803-cd0c-470e-bd27-1d025baa2f95': { role: 'reader', value: [Object] },
+    // ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The map of blocks is arranged as followed:
+
+- The first id is of the collection view
+- The second is of the parent page that contains the database in question
+- The next ids are of all the children pages inside the database
+- After that comes all the children blocks of each page.
+
+
+Please note that a block object can take many types: header, text, list, media, and almost any block supported by Notion. It can also be *a page* or a *collection view*.
+
+Example of a block object of type `text`:
+
+```
