# Getting the Apache Kafka® patch version

To find out the Apache Kafka® patch version installed in a Managed Service for Apache Kafka® cluster, follow these steps:

{% 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. Find the **Version** field containing the Apache Kafka® version and patch version info.

- 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 Apache Kafka® cluster details, run the following command:
  
    ```
    yc managed-kafka cluster get <cluster_name_or_ID>
    ```

    Result:

    ```text
    id: c9q8d856r3nt********
    folder_id: b1gurba83v2i********
    created_at: "2025-06-16T10:57:42.582559Z"
    name: kafka947
    environment: PRODUCTION
    ...
    config:
      version: "3.6"
      kafka:
        resources:
          resource_preset_id: s3-c2-m8
          disk_size: "34359738368"
          disk_type_id: network-ssd
    ...
      rest_api_config:
        enabled: true
      kafka_ui_config:
        enabled: true
      patch_version: 3.6.1
    ...
    ```

    Where `patch_version` is the Apache Kafka® patch version.

    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 into an environment variable:

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

  1. Call the [Cluster.get](../api-ref/Cluster/get.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>'
      ```

      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/get.md#yandex.cloud.mdb.kafka.v1.Cluster) to make sure your request was successful.

  1. Find the `patchVersion` field the server response.

- 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/Get](../api-ref/grpc/Cluster/get.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.Get
      ```

      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/grpc/Cluster/get.md#yandex.cloud.mdb.kafka.v1.Cluster) to make sure your request was successful.

  1. Find the `patch_version` field the server response.
