How to reference an ndb entity when I have the ID attribute

I currently have the ID attribute for an ndb entity. I can't seem to get the entity. I only know how to get the entity with the key name. This is what i have to try and reference it:

story = ndb.Key(Place, data['entryKey']).get()

There is a get_by_id method

get_by_id(id, parent=None, app=None, namespace=None, **ctx_options)

Returns an entity by ID. This is really just a shorthand for Key(cls, id).get().

But it seems it is shorthand for what you are currently doing anyway.
