# Exported Services HTTP Endpoint

<Note> 
  The exported services HTTP API endpoint requires Consul v1.17.3 or newer.
</Note>

The `/exported-services` endpoint returns a list of exported services, as well as the admin partitions and cluster peers that consume the services.

This list consists of the services that were exported using an [`exported-services` configuration entry](/consul/docs/connect/config-entries/exported-services). Sameness groups and wildcards in the configuration entry are expanded in the response.
