# Retrieve list of GPUs in a VM

This topic explains how to retrieve a list of all Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) cards that are currently attached to a specific server within a Virtual Data Center (VDC). This API request is useful for auditing the resources of a server or verifying a successful GPU attachment.

## Endpoint

Use the following endpoint for templates: `https://api.ionos.com/cloudapi/v6/datacenters/{datacenterId}/servers/{serverId}/gpus?depth=3`

## Request

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The following request contains sample values. Remember to replace them with the relevant information.

```bash
curl --location \
--request GET 'https://api.ionos.com/cloudapi/v6/datacenters/{datacenterId}/servers/{serverId}/gpus' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJraWQiO' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
```

{% tabs %}
