# xarray.CFTimeIndex.get_level_values

#### CFTimeIndex.get_level_values(level)[[source]](https://github.com/pydata/xarray/blob/main/xarray/../.pixi/envs/doc/lib/python3.15/site-packages/pandas/core/indexes/base.py#L2318-L2355)

Return an Index of values for requested level.

This is primarily useful to get an individual level of values from a
MultiIndex, but is provided on Index as well for compatibility.

* **Parameters:**
  **level** ([`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#int) or [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/stdtypes.html#str)) – It is either the integer position or the name of the level.
* **Returns:**
  [`Index`](https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.Index.html#pandas.Index) – Calling object, as there is only one level in the Index.

#### SEE ALSO
`MultiIndex.get_level_values`
: Get values for a level of a MultiIndex.

### Notes

For Index, level should be 0, since there are no multiple levels.

Get level values by supplying level as integer:

```pycon
>>> idx.get_level_values(0)
Index(['a', 'b', 'c'], dtype='str')
