# Status HTTP API
The `/status` endpoints return information about the status of the Consul
cluster. This information is generally very low level and not often useful for
clients.
## Get Raft Leader
This endpoint returns the Raft leader for the datacenter in which the agent is
running.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :----- | :--------------- | ------------------ |
| `GET` | `/status/leader` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/consul/api-docs/features/blocking),
[consistency modes](/consul/api-docs/features/consistency),
[agent caching](/consul/api-docs/features/caching), and
[required ACLs](/consul/api-docs/api-structure#authentication).
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
| `NO` | `none` | `none` | `none` |
### Query Parameters
- `dc` `(string: "")` - Specifies the datacenter to query. This will default to
the datacenter of the agent being queried.
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/status/leader
```
### Sample Response
```json
"10.1.10.12:8300"
```
## List Raft Peers
This endpoint retrieves the Raft peers for the datacenter in which the the agent
is running. This list of peers is strongly consistent and can be useful in
determining when a given server has successfully joined the cluster.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :----- | :-------------- | ------------------ |
| `GET` | `/status/peers` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/consul/api-docs/features/blocking),
[consistency modes](/consul/api-docs/features/consistency),
[agent caching](/consul/api-docs/features/caching), and
[required ACLs](/consul/api-docs/api-structure#authentication).
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
| `NO` | `none` | `none` | `none` |
The corresponding CLI command is [`consul operator raft list-peers`](/consul/commands/operator/raft#list-peers).
### Query Parameters
- `dc` `(string: "")` - Specifies the datacenter to query. This will default to
the datacenter of the agent being queried.
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/status/peers
```
### Sample Response
```json
["10.1.10.12:8300", "10.1.10.11:8300", "10.1.10.10:8300"]
```
