+=== Get Machine Learning Info API
+++++
+<titleabbrev>Get Machine Learning Info</titleabbrev>
+++++
+
+Returns defaults and limits used by machine learning.
+
+==== Request
+
+`GET _xpack/ml/info`
+
+==== Description
+
+This endpoint is designed to be used by a user interface that needs to fully
+understand machine learning configurations where some options are not specified,
+meaning that the defaults should be used.  This endpoint may be used to find out
+what those defaults are.
+
+
+==== Authorization
+
+You must have `monitor_ml`, `monitor`, `manage_ml`, or `manage` cluster
+privileges to use this API.  The `machine_learning_admin` and `machine_learning_user`
+roles provide these privileges. For more information, see
+{stack-ov}/security-privileges.html[Security Privileges] and
+{stack-ov}/built-in-roles.html[Built-in Roles].
+
+
+==== Examples
+
+The endpoint takes no arguments:
+
+[source,js]
+--------------------------------------------------
+GET _xpack/ml/info

+// CONSOLE
+// TEST
+
+This is a possible response:
+[source,js]
