# Version API **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
We recommend you use the [Metadata API](metadata.md) instead of the Version API.
|
|
It contains additional information and is aligned with the GraphQL metadata endpoint.
|
|
As of GitLab 15.5, the Version API is a mirror of the Metadata API.
|
|
|
|
Retrieves version information for the GitLab instance. Responds with `200 OK` for
|
|
authenticated users.
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
GET /version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/version"
|
|
```
