# `/sys/internal/ui/version`

The `/sys/internal/ui/version` endpoint exposes the Vault software version
so the Vault UI can display the information to logged in users.

Vault uses internal endpoints to provide information to the Vault UI
and/or Vault CLI. Internal endpoints are explicitly intended to support
Vault functionality, so we do not recommend them for general use
and do not guarantee backwards compatibility across versions.

## Get version

Return the current software version of Vault.
