What do you mean by "provide me the lattice constant"? If you want to know the measured value, you should google it, or search the literature. Otherwise, you have to do geometry optimization for this system, using some appropriate method.

No, you should always calculate the equilibrium lattice constant using your chosen computational model. The reference value from our database, or wherever you have the structure from, is usually a good place to start from.
