# GetBucketVersioning
<a name="API_GetBucketVersioning"></a>

**Note**  
This operation is not supported for directory buckets.

Returns the versioning state of a bucket.

To retrieve the versioning state of a bucket, you must be the bucket owner.

This implementation also returns the MFA Delete status of the versioning state. If the MFA Delete status is `enabled`, the bucket owner must use an authentication device to change the versioning state of the bucket.

The following operations are related to `GetBucketVersioning`:
+  [GetObject](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_GetObject.html) 
+  [PutObject](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_PutObject.html) 
+  [DeleteObject](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_DeleteObject.html) 

**Important**  
You must URL encode any signed header values that contain spaces. For example, if your header value is `my file.txt`, containing two spaces after `my`, you must URL encode this value to `my%20%20file.txt`.
