# Get instance configurations

## Paths

- `GET` `/platform/configuration/instances`

- [Basic auth](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4371/api/doc/cloud-enterprise/authentication#basicauth)
- [Api key auth](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4371/api/doc/cloud-enterprise/authentication#apikey)

## Description

Get instance configurations.

## Query String Parameters

- `show_deleted` (boolean)
  If true, instance configurations marked for deletions are also returned. Otherwise, only instance configurations not marked for deletion are returned
- `show_max_zones` (boolean · default: false)
  If true, will populate the max_zones field of the instance configurations.
- `include_versions` (boolean · default: false)
  If true, will return all existing versions of each instance configuration.

## Response

A InstanceConfiguration

`application/octet-stream`

Type: `[] InstanceConfiguration`

- `id` (string)
  Unique identifier for the instance configuration
- `name` (string)
  Display name for the instance configuration.
