# Getting a list of Apache Kafka® cluster hosts

You can get a list of broker hosts in an Apache Kafka® cluster.

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Management console {#console}

  1. In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), navigate to the relevant folder.
  1. Navigate to **Managed Service for Kafka**.
  1. Click the name of your cluster and select the **Hosts** tab.

- CLI {#cli}

  If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../cli/quickstart.md#install).

  The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id <folder_ID>` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

  To get a list of cluster hosts, run this command:

  ```bash
  yc managed-kafka cluster list-hosts <cluster_name_or_ID>
  ```

  You can get the cluster ID and name with the [list of clusters in the folder](cluster-list.md#list-clusters).

- REST API {#api}

    1. [Get an IAM token for API authentication](../api-ref/authentication.md) and put it in an environment variable:

        ```bash
        export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
        ```

    1. Call the [Cluster.listHosts](../api-ref/Cluster/listHosts.md) method, e.g., via the following [cURL](https://curl.se/) request:

        ```bash
        curl \
            --request GET \
            --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
            --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-kafka/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>/hosts'
        ```

        You can get the cluster ID with the [list of clusters in the folder](cluster-list.md#list-clusters).

    1. Check the [server response](../api-ref/Cluster/listHosts.md#yandex.cloud.mdb.kafka.v1.ListClusterHostsResponse) to make sure your request was successful.

- gRPC API {#grpc-api}

    1. [Get an IAM token for API authentication](../api-ref/authentication.md) and put it into an environment variable:

        ```bash
        export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
        ```

    1. Clone the [cloudapi](https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi) repository:
       
       ```bash
       cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
       ```
       
       Below, we assume that the repository contents reside in the `~/cloudapi/` directory.

    1. Call the [ClusterService/ListHosts](../api-ref/grpc/Cluster/listHosts.md) method, e.g., via the following [gRPCurl](https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl) request:

        ```bash
        grpcurl \
            -format json \
            -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \
            -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \
            -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/mdb/kafka/v1/cluster_service.proto \
            -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
            -d '{
                    "cluster_id": "<cluster_ID>"
                }' \
            mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
            yandex.cloud.mdb.kafka.v1.ClusterService.ListHosts
        ```

        You can request the cluster ID with the [list of clusters in the folder](cluster-list.md#list-clusters).

    1. Check the [server response](../api-ref/grpc/Cluster/listHosts.md#yandex.cloud.mdb.kafka.v1.ListClusterHostsResponse) to make sure your request was successful.
