# Feature Flag Specs API **(PREMIUM)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/9566) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 12.5.
WARNING:
This API is deprecated and [scheduled for removal in GitLab 14.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/213369).
The API for creating, updating, reading and deleting Feature Flag Specs.
Automation engineers benefit from this API by being able to modify Feature Flag Specs without accessing user interface.
To manage the [Feature Flag](../operations/feature_flags.md) resources via public API, please refer to the [Feature Flags API](feature_flags.md) document.
Users with Developer or higher [permissions](../user/permissions.md) can access Feature Flag Specs API.
## List all effective feature flag specs under the specified environment
Get all effective feature flag specs under the specified [environment](../ci/environments/index.md).
For instance, there are two specs, `staging` and `production`, for a feature flag.
When you pass `production` as a parameter to this endpoint, the system returns
the `production` feature flag spec only.
```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/feature_flag_scopes
```
