# Version API
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Free, Premium, Ultimate
**Offering:** GitLab.com, Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated
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"
```
## Example responses
### GitLab 15.5 and later
See [Metadata API](metadata.md) for the response.
### GitLab 15.4 and earlier
```json
{
"version": "8.13.0-pre",
"revision": "4e963fe"
}
```
