# Manage SMIL files

Use the Wowza Streaming Engine™ media server software REST API to view, create, and remove Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) file configurations in a Wowza Streaming Engine instance.

> **Notes:**
- Wowza Streaming Engine 4.3.0 or later is required.
- PHP examples for the tasks in this article are available in the **tests** folder of the [PHP REST Library for Wowza Streaming Engine on GitHub](https://github.com/WowzaMediaSystems/wse-rest-library-php).



## Get a list of SMIL files

View a list of all configured SMIL files associated with an application:


```bash
curl -X GET \
-H 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
-H 'Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/{serverName}/vhosts/{vhostName}/applications/{appName}/smilfiles
```

View a list of all configured SMIL files associated with an application named *testlive*:

> **Note:** All examples on this page use the application name **testlive**. You will replace this with the name of your application.



```bash
curl -X GET \
-H 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
-H 'Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/{serverName}/vhosts/{vhostName}/applications/testlive/smilfiles
