## Retrieve information about specific configuration properties

`client.apiGateway.configurations.get(ConfigurationGetParamsparams, RequestOptionsoptions?): Configuration`

**get** `/zones/{zone_id}/api_gateway/configuration`

Gets the current API Shield configuration settings for a zone, including validation behavior and enforcement mode.

### Parameters

- `params: ConfigurationGetParams`

  - `zone_id: string`

    Path param: Identifier.

  - `normalize?: boolean`

    Query param: Ensures that the configuration is written or retrieved in normalized fashion

### Returns

- `Configuration`

  - `auth_id_characteristics: Array<APIShieldAuthIDCharacteristic | APIShieldAuthIDCharacteristicJWTClaim>`

    - `APIShieldAuthIDCharacteristic`

      Auth ID Characteristic

      - `name: string`

        The name of the characteristic field, i.e., the header or cookie name.

      - `type: "header" | "cookie"`

        The type of characteristic.

        - `"header"`

        - `"cookie"`

    - `APIShieldAuthIDCharacteristicJWTClaim`

      Auth ID Characteristic extracted from JWT Token Claims

      - `name: string`

        Claim location expressed as `$(token_config_id):$(json_path)`, where `token_config_id`
        is the ID of the token configuration used in validating the JWT, and `json_path` is a RFC 9535
        JSONPath (https://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/, https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9535.html).
        The JSONPath expression may be in dot or bracket notation, may only specify literal keys
        or array indexes, and must return a singleton value, which will be interpreted as a string.

      - `type: "jwt"`

        The type of characteristic.

        - `"jwt"`

### Example

```node
import Cloudflare from 'cloudflare';

const client = new Cloudflare({
  apiToken: process.env['CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN'], // This is the default and can be omitted
});

const configuration = await client.apiGateway.configurations.get({
  zone_id: '023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353',
});

console.log(configuration.auth_id_characteristics);
```
