Retrieve configuration information for an InfluxDB Cloud instance.

GET`/api/v2/flags`

### Retrieve feature flags

Retrieves the feature flag key-value pairs configured for the InfluxDB
instance.*Feature flags* are configuration options used to develop and test
experimental InfluxDB features and are intended for internal use only.

This endpoint represents the first step in the following three-step process
to configure feature flags:

1. Use [token authentication](#section/Authentication/TokenAuthentication) or a [user session](#tag/Signin) with this endpoint to retrieve
   feature flags and their values.

2. Follow the instructions to enable, disable, or override values for feature flags.

3. **Optional**: To confirm that your change is applied, do one of the following:

   * Send a request to this endpoint to retrieve the current feature flag values.
   * Send a request to the [`GET /api/v2/config` endpoint](#operation/GetConfig) to retrieve the
     current runtime server configuration.
