# Legacy Feature Flags API **(FREE)**

> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/9566) in GitLab Premium 12.5.
> - [Moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/212318) to GitLab Free in 13.5.

WARNING:
This API is deprecated and [scheduled for removal in GitLab 14.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/213369). Use [this API](feature_flags.md) instead.

API for accessing resources of [GitLab Feature Flags](../operations/feature_flags.md).

Users with Developer or higher [permissions](../user/permissions.md) can access Feature Flag API.

## Feature Flags pagination

By default, `GET` requests return 20 results at a time because the API results
are [paginated](README.md#pagination).

## List feature flags for a project

Gets all feature flags of the requested project.
