This example uses the Redis configuration store component to demonstrate how to retrieve a configuration item.
{{% alert title="Note" color="primary" %}}
This API is currently in `Alpha` state and only available on gRPC. An HTTP1.1 supported version with this URL syntax `/v1.0/configuration` will be available before the API is certified into `Stable` state.

## Create a configuration item in store
Create a configuration item in a supported configuration store. This can be a simple key-value item, with any key of your choice. As mentioned earlier, this example uses the Redis configuration store component.
### Run Redis with Docker
```
docker run --name my-redis -p 6379:6379 -d redis:6
```
### Save an item
Using the [Redis CLI](https://redis.com/blog/get-redis-cli-without-installing-redis-server/), connect to the Redis instance:
```
redis-cli -p 6379
```
Save a configuration item:
```
MSET orderId1 "101||1" orderId2 "102||1"
```
## Configure a Dapr configuration store
Save the following component file to the [default components folder]({{< ref "install-dapr-selfhost.md#step-5-verify-components-directory-has-been-initialized" >}}) on your machine. You can use this as the Dapr component YAML:
- For Kubernetes using `kubectl`.
- When running with the Dapr CLI.
{{% alert title="Note" color="primary" %}}
Since the Redis configuration component has identical metadata to the Redis `statestore.yaml` component, you can simply copy/change the Redis state store component type if you already have a Redis `statestore.yaml`.
{{% /alert %}}
```yaml
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
name: configstore
spec:
type: configuration.redis
metadata:
- name: redisHost
value: localhost:6379
- name: redisPassword
value: <PASSWORD>
```

### Get configuration items using gRPC API
Using your [favorite language](https://grpc.io/docs/languages/), create a Dapr gRPC client from the [Dapr proto](https://github.com/dapr/dapr/blob/master/dapr/proto/runtime/v1/dapr.proto). The following examples show Java, C#, Python and Javascript clients.
{{< tabs Java Dotnet Python Javascript >}}

Dapr.ServiceBlockingStub stub = Dapr.newBlockingStub(channel);
stub.GetConfigurationAlpha1(new GetConfigurationRequest{ StoreName = "redisconfigstore", Keys = new String[]{"myconfig"} });

{
// Initialize the gRPC Stream that will provide configuration updates.
var subscribeConfigurationResponse = await daprClient.SubscribeConfiguration(store, keys, metadata, token);
// The response contains a data source which is an IAsyncEnumerable, so it can be iterated through via an awaited foreach.
await foreach (var items in subscribeConfigurationResponse.Source.WithCancellation(token))
{
// Each iteration from the stream can contain all the keys that were queried for, so it must be individually iterated through.
var data = new Dictionary<string, string>(Data);
foreach (var item in items)
{
// The Id in the response is used to unsubscribe.
Id = subscribeConfigurationResponse.Id;
data[item.Key] = item.Value;
}
Data = data;
}
}
```

{{< /tabs >}}
### Watch configuration items using gRPC API
Create a Dapr gRPC client from the [Dapr proto](https://github.com/dapr/dapr/blob/master/dapr/proto/runtime/v1/dapr.proto) using your [preferred language](https://grpc.io/docs/languages/). Use the `SubscribeConfigurationAlpha1` proto method on your client stub to start subscribing to events. The method accepts the following request object:
```proto
message SubscribeConfigurationRequest {
// The name of configuration store.
string store_name = 1;
// Optional. The key of the configuration item to fetch.
// If set, only query for the specified configuration items.
// Empty list means fetch all.
repeated string keys = 2;
// The metadata which will be sent to configuration store components.
map<string,string> metadata = 3;
}
```
Using this method, you can subscribe to changes in specific keys for a given configuration store. gRPC streaming varies widely based on language - see the [gRPC examples here](https://grpc.io/docs/languages/) for usage.
Below are the examples in sdks:
{{< tabs Python>}}
{{% codetab %}}
```python
#dependencies
import asyncio
from dapr.clients import DaprClient
#code
async def executeConfiguration():
with DaprClient() as d:
CONFIG_STORE_NAME = 'configstore'
key = 'orderId'
# Subscribe to configuration by key.
configuration = await d.subscribe_configuration(store_name=CONFIG_STORE_NAME, keys=[key], config_metadata={})
if configuration != None:
items = configuration.get_items()
for item in items:
print(f"Subscribe key={item.key} value={item.value} version={item.version}", flush=True)
else:
print("Nothing yet")
asyncio.run(executeConfiguration())
```
```bash
dapr run --app-id orderprocessing --resources-path components/ -- python3 OrderProcessingService.py
```

#### Stop watching configuration items
After you've subscribed to watch configuration items, the gRPC-server stream starts. Since this stream thread does not close itself, you have to explicitly call the `UnSubscribeConfigurationRequest` API to unsubscribe. This method accepts the following request object:
```proto
// UnSubscribeConfigurationRequest is the message to stop watching the key-value configuration.
message UnSubscribeConfigurationRequest {
// The name of configuration store.
string store_name = 1;
// Optional. The keys of the configuration item to stop watching.
// Store_name and keys should match previous SubscribeConfigurationRequest's keys and store_name.
// Once invoked, the subscription that is watching update for the key-value event is stopped
repeated string keys = 2;
}
```
Using this unsubscribe method, you can stop watching configuration update events. Dapr locates the subscription stream based on the `store_name` and any optional keys supplied and closes it.
