# Get current targets as domain and value pairs

Returns the current targets of a collection, configuration as an array of domain and value pairs. The response format matches the input expected by the [modifyTargets](https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/help/api/cloud/deployment-fw-modify-targets-legacy.html) endpoint — making it easy to fetch, modify, and resubmit targets without format conversion. This is the default format. No additional query parameters are needed. Omit `useResourceIdFormat` or set it to `false`.
