# List Files

`FileListPage files().list(params = FileListParams.none(), requestOptions = RequestOptions.none())`

**GET** `/v1/files`

List Files

## Parameters

- `FileListParams params`

  - `Optional<List<String>> ids` (query parameter)

    Restrict the result set to Files whose `id` is in this list. At most 100 entries (after de-duplication). Mutually exclusive with `page` and `limit`. When supplied, the response is always a single page (`next_page` is null). IDs that do not resolve to a visible File — including deleted Files — are silently omitted.

  - `Optional<Long> limit` (query parameter)

    Number of items to return per page.

    Defaults to `20`. Ranges from `1` to `1000`.

    minimum: 1, maximum: 1000

  - `Optional<String> page` (query parameter)

    Opaque page cursor returned in a prior list response's `next_page`. Prefixed `page_`.

  - `Optional<String> workspaceId` (header parameter)

    Optional header to select the Workspace for this request. The value is a Workspace ID (for example, `wrkspc_011CZkZaBF1tNoB5wlCeusgy`).

    Only needed for credentials that can act on more than one Workspace. A credential that belongs to a specific Workspace may omit it; if sent, it must match that Workspace.

## Returns

- `class FileMetadata`

  - `JsonValue type = "file"`

    Object type.

    For files, this is always `"file"`.

  - `String id`

    Unique object identifier.

    The format and length of IDs may change over time.

  - `LocalDateTime createdAt`

    RFC 3339 datetime string representing when the file was created.

    format: date-time

  - `String filename`

    Original filename of the uploaded file.

    minLength: 1, maxLength: 500

  - `String mimeType`

    MIME type of the file.

    minLength: 1, maxLength: 255

  - `long sizeBytes`

    Size of the file in bytes.

    minimum: 0

  - `Optional<Boolean> downloadable`

    Whether the file can be downloaded.

  - `Optional<LocalDateTime> expiresAt`

    RFC 3339 datetime string representing when the file will expire and become unavailable for download. Null if the file does not expire. For files uploaded with `expires_in_seconds`, this is the upload time plus that value.

    format: date-time

## Example

```java
package com.anthropic.example;

import com.anthropic.client.AnthropicClient;
import com.anthropic.client.okhttp.AnthropicOkHttpClient;
import com.anthropic.models.files.FileListPage;
import com.anthropic.models.files.FileListParams;

public final class Main {
    private Main() {}

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AnthropicClient client = AnthropicOkHttpClient.fromEnv();

        FileListPage page = client.files().list();
    }
}
```
