# Application settings API
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Free, Premium, Ultimate
**Offering:** Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated
These API calls allow you to read and modify GitLab instance
[application settings](#list-of-settings-that-can-be-accessed-via-api-calls)
as they appear in `/admin/application_settings/general`. You must be an
administrator to perform this action.
Application settings are subject to caching and may not immediately take effect.
By default, GitLab caches application settings for 60 seconds.
For information on how to control the application settings cache for an instance, see [Application cache interval](../administration/application_settings_cache.md).
## Get current application settings
> - `always_perform_delayed_deletion` feature flag [enabled](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/113332) in GitLab 15.11.
> - `delayed_project_deletion` and `delayed_group_deletion` attributes removed in GitLab 16.0.
> - `in_product_marketing_emails_enabled` attribute [removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/418137) in GitLab 16.6.
> - `repository_storages` attribute [removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/429675) in GitLab 16.6.
> - `user_email_lookup_limit` attribute [removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/136886) in GitLab 16.7.
> - `allow_all_integrations` and `allowed_integrations` attributes [added](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/500610) in GitLab 17.6.
List the current [application settings](#list-of-settings-that-can-be-accessed-via-api-calls)
of the GitLab instance.

## Housekeeping fields
::Tabs
:::TabTitle 15.8 and later
If the `housekeeping_optimize_repository_period`
field is set to an integer, housekeeping operations are performed after the number
of Git pushes you specify.
:::TabTitle 15.7 and earlier
The `housekeeping_enabled` field enables or disables
Git housekeeping. To function properly, this field requires `housekeeping_optimize_repository_period`
to be set, or _all_ of these values to be set:
- `housekeeping_bitmaps_enabled`
- `housekeeping_full_repack_period`
- `housekeeping_gc_period`
::EndTabs
### Package registry: Package file size limits
The package file size limits are not part of the Application settings API.
Instead, these settings can be accessed using the [Plan limits API](plan_limits.md).
