## List Container instances with \`wrangler containers instances\`

[Containers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers/)

A new [`wrangler containers instances`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/commands/containers/#containers-instances) command lists all instances for a given Container application. This mirrors the instances view in the Cloudflare dashboard.

The command displays each instance's ID, name, state, location, version, and creation time:

```sh
wrangler containers instances <APPLICATION_ID>
```

Use the `--json` flag for machine-readable output, which is also the default format in non-interactive environments such as CI pipelines.

For the full list of options, refer to the [`containers instances` command reference](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/commands/containers/#containers-instances).
