# Fetch user subscription

Developers can now fetch a user's subscription directly from our [Backend API](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend-api/tag/billing/get/users/%7Buser_id%7D/billing/subscription) via `GET /user/:user_id/billing/subscription`.

### Usage with Next.js

```ts
import { clerkClient, auth } from '@clerk/nextjs/server'

export async function getUserSubscription() {
  const { userId } = await auth.protect()
  const client = await clerkClient()
  return client.billing.getUserBillingSubscription(userId)
}
```
