Get function nodes retrieve specific pieces of information about the scene, either from an input shader, or a specific setting. Usually this data is gathered from the current pixel being evaluated/rendered by the render engine.
"Get" function nodes retrieve specific pieces of information about the scene. Usually this data is gathered from the current pixel or polygon being evaluated/rendered by the render engine. The output may depend on where the function is being evaluated in the shader network.
 
"Get" nodes ignore anything connected to their "main input". If a "main input" socket exists it is only because it is automatically created for all function nodes, and it has no purpose in "Get" nodes.
