# List balenaOS releases

## Examples

### List the supported balenaOS versions for a device type

To request a list of the supported balenaOS versions for a particular device type, the `DEVICE TYPE SLUG` parameter is required. Even though this query only selects the `raw_version` field, you can additionally specify any of the fields found in the release resource. The Authorization header is optional.

```bash
GET "https://api.balena-cloud.com/v7/release?\$select=raw_version&\$filter=(is_final%20eq%20true)%20and%20(is_invalidated%20eq%20false)%20and%20(status%20eq%20'success')%20and%20(semver_major%20gt%200)%20and%20(belongs_to__application/any(bta:(bta/is_host%20eq%20true)%20and%20(bta/is_for__device_type/any(dt:dt/slug%20eq%20'<DEVICE TYPE SLUG>'))))&\$orderby=semver_major%20desc,semver_minor%20desc,semver_patch%20desc,revision%20desc" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <AUTH_TOKEN>" 
```

### List the supported balenaOS versions for a private device type

Same as above, but in order to access private device types, you must provide an authentication token.

```bash
GET "https://api.balena-cloud.com/v7/release?\$select=raw_version&\$filter=(is_final%20eq%20true)%20and%20(is_invalidated%20eq%20false)%20and%20(status%20eq%20'success')%20and%20(semver_major%20gt%200)%20and%20(belongs_to__application/any(bta:(bta/is_host%20eq%20true)%20and%20(bta/is_for__device_type/any(dt:dt/slug%20eq%20'<DEVICE TYPE SLUG>'))))&\$orderby=semver_major%20desc,semver_minor%20desc,semver_patch%20desc,revision%20desc" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <AUTH_TOKEN>" 
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.balena.io/reference/api/resources/balenaos_versions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
