# Get GeoIP database configurations


Availability: Generally available since 8.15

## Paths

- `GET` `/_ingest/geoip/database/{id}`
- `GET` `/_ingest/geoip/database`

#### Path parameters

- `id` (union string | string[]) — optional, leave it out to use `/_ingest/geoip/database`
  A comma-separated list of database configuration IDs to retrieve.
Wildcard (`*`) expressions are supported.
To get all database configurations, omit this parameter or use `*`.

## Description

Get information about one or more IP geolocation database configurations.

## Authentication

- Api key: `Authorization: <value>`
  Elasticsearch APIs support key-based authentication.
  You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header.
  For example:
  
  
  ```
  curl -X GET "${ES_URL}/_cat/indices?v=true" \
    -H "Authorization: ApiKey ${API_KEY}"
  ```
  
  To get API keys, use the `/_security/api_key` APIs.
- Basic: `Authorization: Basic <credentials>`
- Bearer: `Authorization: Bearer <token>`
  Elasticsearch APIs support the use of bearer tokens in the `Authorization` HTTP header to authenticate with the API.
  For examples, refer to [Token-based authentication services](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/users-roles/cluster-or-deployment-auth/token-based-authentication-services)
