# Get Current Session

> Inspect the currently active session, including duration, expiration, and remaining time.

## Overview

Returns metadata for the session currently marked active in Memanto's local state — useful to verify session validity before executing memory operations. The endpoint reads the active session marker on the server; **no parameters are required**.

## Authentication

No session token — Memanto resolves the active session from local server state.

<ParamField header="Authorization" type="string">
  `Bearer <key>` — required unless the request originates from a loopback client. See [Management Endpoint Authentication](/api-reference/authentication#management-endpoint-authentication-agent-lifecycle).
</ParamField>

<ParamField header="X-Api-Key" type="string">
  Alternative to `Authorization: Bearer` — same credential.
</ParamField>

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X GET "http://localhost:8000/api/v2/status"
