# Read Proxy

> Returns the proxy configured for the instance

**Auth:** `TokenAccount` or `TokenInstance` • **Rate-limit:** `Global` (100/min) • **Idempotent:** yes

## Description

Returns **only** the individual proxy of the instance (does not include fallback to the deploy global proxy). If the instance has no proxy of its own, returns `enabled: false` with the other fields empty. The password is **not** returned.

## Example

Performs a `GET` on the instance path and returns the `proxy` object with the active configuration (without including the `password`). If the instance has no individual proxy, it comes with `enabled: false` and the other fields `null`.
