# Get the outbound connection rules

`GET /api/egress/`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://eyalsec.com`
- URL: `https://eyalsec.com/api/egress/`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`
  - API key in cookie `__Host-es2session`

Returns the es-python outbound connection policy for one scope (machine query param = a machine public_id; omit it for the account policy). `scope` is what this scope stores itself: a null mode, default or on_violation means it inherits. `effective` is what applies after resolving (machine, then account, then the built-in untrusted / allow / block) and lists the rules in the order they are checked: the machine's own first, then the account's. For a machine, `account` repeats the account policy so you can see what it inherits. Accounts without es-python get 403; a machine of another product gets 400.

This is a **read**: a read-only API key may call it.

## Query parameters

- `machine` string

## Response `200`

OK.

- object

## Other responses

- `401`: The API key is missing, wrong, revoked or expired.
- `429`: A rate limit was hit, or the account is locked after wrong passwords. Retry-After gives the seconds to wait.
- `default`: An error. Check the status first; the body carries a short message, as JSON ({"error": "..."}) on most endpoints and as plain text on some. 400: malformed JSON, an invalid regex, an unreadable cursor or date, or an unknown value. 401: the API key is missing, wrong, revoked or expired. 403: a failed CSRF check, a read-only key trying to write, a product or feature not enabled on your account, a wrong password, or a write on an account limited to reading. 404: not found, including things that belong to another account. 409: conflict with the current state. 422: a field is missing or invalid. 429: a rate limit was hit, or the account is locked after wrong passwords. 500: something failed on our side.
