# Version API

This API returns the running Synapse version. This is useful when a Synapse instance is behind a proxy that does not forward the ‘Server’ header (which also contains Synapse version information).

The api is:

    GET /_synapse/admin/v1/server_version

It returns a JSON body like the following:

    {
        "server_version": "0.99.2rc1 (b=develop, abcdef123)"
    }

Changed in Synapse 1.94.0: The `python_version` key was removed from the response body.
