# The [`GetInstance()`](https://pywbem.readthedocs.io/en/latest/client.html#pywbem.WBEMConnection.GetInstance) method returns a [`pywbem.CIMInstance`](https://pywbem.readthedocs.io/en/latest/client.html#pywbem.CIMInstance) object, given a [`pywbem.CIMInstanceName`](https://pywbem.readthedocs.io/en/latest/client.html#pywbem.CIMInstanceName) object that references the desired CIM instance.
# 
# The following code extends the [EnumerateInstanceNames](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/pywbem/pywbem/blob/master/docs/notebooks/enuminstnames.ipynb) example by the use of `GetInstance` on each of the returned instance paths.
