Hi there,

with the JS API I want to fetch all available locales. I understood that fetching the api at cdn level returns the `languages` but how would I achieve this using a JS Prismic client? Is there a prismic predicate for it?

The post I'm referring to is this one:

> Hi there, is there a way to query all available locales? We are currently building a locale switch for a website will be available in 15+ different countries. I know how i can query the alternative languages as soon as i queried a specific content. But now i would need to find out which locales are generally available even if the content i currently look at hasn't been published to that locale yet. In this case we would want to send the user to the home page of that locale as a backup solution.…

Thx

Hi Andreas,

You just need to query the api to get that info using the method described here:

> **[prismicio/prismic-javascript](https://github.com/prismicio/prismic-javascript#query-the-content)**
>
> Javascript kit for API V2. Contribute to prismicio/prismic-javascript development by creating an account on GitHub.

So to get the languages it would be something like:

```auto
Prismic.api("https://your-repository-name.cdn.prismic.io/api/v2").then(function(api) {
  languages = api.data.languages
});

```

Let me know if this helps.
