# Get artifact version state

`GET /groups/{groupId}/artifacts/{artifactId}/versions/{versionExpression}/state`

## Request

- The document declares no server URL.
- Auth: none declared

Gets the current state of an artifact version.

This operation can fail for the following reasons:

* No artifact with this `artifactId` exists (HTTP error `404`)
* No version with this `version` exists (HTTP error `404`)
* A server error occurred (HTTP error `500`)

## Response `200`

The current artifact version state.

- WrappedVersionState
  - `state` 'ENABLED' | 'DISABLED' | 'DEPRECATED' | 'DRAFT' | 'SUNSET', required: Describes the state of an artifact or artifact version. * ENABLED * DISABLED * DEPRECATED * DRAFT * SUNSET — Signals that a migration deadline has passed and the version will be removed. Requires transitioning through DEPRECATED first. Added in 3.3.0.

## Other responses

- `401`: Common response for all operations that can return a `401` error indicating authentication is required.
- `403`: Common response for all operations that can return a `403` error indicating the user is authenticated but not authorized.
