# Appearance API **(CORE ONLY)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/16647) in GitLab 12.7.
Appearance API allows you to maintain GitLab's appearance as if using the GitLab UI at
`/admin/appearance`. The API requires administrator privileges.
## Get current appearance configuration

```plaintext
GET /application/appearance
```
```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/application/appearance
```
Example response:
```json
{
"title": "GitLab Test Instance",
"description": "gitlab-test.example.com",
"logo": "/uploads/-/system/appearance/logo/1/logo.png",
"header_logo": "/uploads/-/system/appearance/header_logo/1/header.png",
"favicon": "/uploads/-/system/appearance/favicon/1/favicon.png",
"new_project_guidelines": "Please read the FAQs for help.",
"profile_image_guidelines": "Custom profile image guidelines",
"header_message": "",
"footer_message": "",
"message_background_color": "#e75e40",
"message_font_color": "#ffffff",
"email_header_and_footer_enabled": false
}
```
