How to call get_post()?

It’s not clear why you mess with the global, under normal circumstances you don’t need to.

Out of the box, when viewing a post page, get_post() will return current post object. Regardless of the loop even, since it is set up as part of main query before template is even reached.

The difference between post and page for this purpose is minimal as well.

If get_post() call alone return empty/unexpected results, then the likely issue is that something messes up global context before this point is reached.
