# Broadcast Messages API **(FREE SELF)**
Broadcast messages API operates on [broadcast messages](../user/admin_area/broadcast_messages.md).
As of GitLab 12.8, GET requests do not require authentication. All other broadcast message API endpoints are accessible only to administrators. Non-GET requests by:
- Guests result in `401 Unauthorized`.
- Regular users result in `403 Forbidden`.
