Appwrite is an open-source self-hosted backend server that abstracts and simplifies complex and repetitive development tasks behind a very simple REST API

```javascript
import { Client, Databases } from "appwrite";

const client = new Client()
    .setEndpoint('https://<REGION>.cloud.appwrite.io/v1') // Your API Endpoint
    .setProject('<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>'); // Your project ID

const databases = new Databases(client);

const result = await databases.getDocument({
    databaseId: '<DATABASE_ID>',
    collectionId: '<COLLECTION_ID>',
    documentId: '<DOCUMENT_ID>',
    queries: [], // optional
    transactionId: '<TRANSACTION_ID>' // optional
});

console.log(result);
```
