You may need to retrieve a value from Magento 2′s core_config_data table. This table typically stores configuration settings entered in the admin area. Use the following code to read the required value:

public function __construct(
    \Magento\Framework\App\Config\ScopeConfigInterface $scopeConfig,
    ...
) {
    $this->scopeConfig = $scopeConfig;
}
// Example: web/secure/base_url; any other path can be used
$value = $this->scopeConfig->getValue('web/secure/base_url', \Magento\Store\Model\ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE);
echo $value;
