# Get Environment State

> Retrieves the environment state to be used in Formbricks SDKs. **Cache Behavior**: This endpoint uses server-side caching with a **5-minute TTL (Time To Live)**. Any changes to surveys, action classes, project settings, or other environment data will take up to 5 minutes to reflect in the API response. This caching is implemented to improve performance for high-frequency SDK requests.
