# Feature Flag Specs API **(PREMIUM)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/9566) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 12.5.
The API for creating, updating, reading and deleting [Feature Flag Specs ](../user/project/operations/feature_flags.md#define-environment-specs ).
Automation engineers benefit from this API by being able to modify Feature Flag Specs without accessing user interface.
To manage the [Feature Flag ](../user/project/operations/feature_flags.md ) resources via public API, please refer to the [Feature Flags API ](feature_flags.md ) document.
Users with Developer or higher [permissions ](../user/permissions.md ) can access Feature Flag Specs API.
## List all effective feature flag specs under the specified environment
Get all effective feature flag specs under the specified [environment ](../ci/environments.md ).
For instance, there are two specs, `staging` and `production` , for a feature flag.
When you pass `production` as a parameter to this endpoint, the system returns
the `production` feature flag spec only.
