{{< note >}}
This command's behavior varies in clustered Redis environments. See the [multi-key operations]({{< relref "/develop/using-commands/multi-key-operations" >}}) page for more information.
{{< /note >}}

Returns the values of all specified keys.
For every key that does not hold a string value or does not exist, the special
value `nil` is returned.
Because of this, the operation never fails.

## Examples

{{% redis-cli %}}
SET key1 "Hello"
SET key2 "World"
MGET key1 key2 nonexisting
{{% /redis-cli %}}
