List chats

GET/v1/compliance/apps/chats

Lists chat metadata with filtering capabilities for targeted compliance review. Results are sorted chronologically (time ascending) by the order_by key, with ties broken by id.

Incremental polling with order_by=updated_at returns a chat again after it receives a new message, is moved into or out of a project, or is deleted in claude.ai. A chat is not guaranteed to be returned again after other edits, such as a rename.

Deprecation notice: Combining user_ids[] with any updated_at.* filter is deprecated and will be rejected with HTTP 400 after 2026-09-22. For incremental polling by update time, omit user_ids[] and set order_by=updated_at with after_id cursor pagination — this returns the same chats across the whole organization in a single request stream. For per-user listing, use created_at.* filters (or no time filter) with the default order_by. user_ids[] with order_by=updated_at is already rejected.

Query parameters
after_id: optional string

Pagination cursor for retrieving the next page of results. To paginate, pass the last_id value from the most recent response. Clients should treat this value as an opaque string and not attempt to parse or interpret its contents, as the format may change without notice.

before_id: optional string

Pagination cursor for retrieving the previous page of results. To paginate, pass the first_id value from the most recent response. Clients should treat this value as an opaque string and not attempt to parse or interpret its contents, as the format may change without notice.

created_at: optional object{ gt, gte, lt, lte }
gt: optional string

Filter chats created after this time (RFC 3339 format)

formatdate-time
gte: optional string

Filter chats created at or after this time (RFC 3339 format)

formatdate-time
lt: optional string

Filter chats created before this time (RFC 3339 format)

formatdate-time
lte: optional string

Filter chats created at or before this time (RFC 3339 format)

formatdate-time
limit: optional number

Maximum results (default: 100, max: 1000)

default100
maximum1000
minimum1
order_by: optional "created_at" or "updated_at"

Sort key for results. created_at (default) sorts by chat creation time. updated_at sorts by last update time and is only supported for org-wide queries (omit user_ids[]). For org-wide queries, any time filter must match the sort key: created_at.* filters require order_by=created_at, and updated_at.* filters require order_by=updated_at.

defaultcreated_at
One of the following:
"created_at"
"updated_at"
organization_ids: optional array of string

Filter by organization IDs (accepts org_... or organization UUID). Enumerate IDs via GET /v1/compliance/organizations.

project_ids: optional array of string

Filter by project IDs (accepts claude_proj_...). Enumerate IDs via GET /v1/compliance/apps/projects. Requires user_ids[]; not supported for org-wide queries.

updated_at: optional object{ gt, gte, lt, lte }
gt: optional string

Filter chats updated after this time (RFC 3339 format). Combining updated_at filters with user_ids[] is deprecated and will be rejected after 2026-09-22; for updated_at-windowed polling, omit user_ids[] and use order_by=updated_at with after_id pagination.

formatdate-time
gte: optional string

Filter chats updated at or after this time (RFC 3339 format). Combining updated_at filters with user_ids[] is deprecated and will be rejected after 2026-09-22; for updated_at-windowed polling, omit user_ids[] and use order_by=updated_at with after_id pagination.

formatdate-time
lt: optional string

Filter chats updated before this time (RFC 3339 format). Combining updated_at filters with user_ids[] is deprecated and will be rejected after 2026-09-22; for updated_at-windowed polling, omit user_ids[] and use order_by=updated_at with after_id pagination.

formatdate-time
lte: optional string

Filter chats updated at or before this time (RFC 3339 format). Combining updated_at filters with user_ids[] is deprecated and will be rejected after 2026-09-22; for updated_at-windowed polling, omit user_ids[] and use order_by=updated_at with after_id pagination.

formatdate-time
user_ids: optional array of string

Filter to chats created by specific users (max 10 per request). Omit for an org-wide query. Enumerate IDs via GET /v1/compliance/organizations/{org_uuid}/users. Deprecated combination: passing user_ids[] together with any updated_at.* filter is deprecated and will be rejected after 2026-09-22. For updated_at-windowed polling, omit user_ids[] and use order_by=updated_at with after_id pagination.

Headers
"x-api-key": optional string
Returns
data: array of object{ id, created_at, deleted_at, 8 more }

List of chat metadata sorted chronologically by the request's order_by key (default created_at), tie break by id

id: string

Chat ID

created_at: string

Creation timestamp

formatdate-time
deleted_at: string or null

Deletion timestamp if deleted

formatdate-time
href: string

URL to view this chat in claude.ai

model: string or null

Model selected for this chat (e.g. 'claude-opus-5'). May be null for legacy chats that never had a model recorded.

name: string

Chat name/title

organization_uuid: string

Organization UUID this chat belongs to

project_id: string or null

Project ID this chat belongs to

updated_at: string

Last update timestamp. Updated when the chat receives a new message, is moved into or out of a project, or is deleted in claude.ai. Other edits, such as renaming the chat, are not guaranteed to change it.

formatdate-time
user: object{ id, email_address } or null

The user who created the chat.

Null when the API key is restricted to one organization and the creator is no longer a member of it (for example, after they were removed from it).

A key for the whole parent organization returns the creator's id and current email_address for every chat; on the list endpoint, pass organization_ids[] to keep the results to one organization. For the email address the creator had when the chat was created, query GET /v1/compliance/activities with activity_types[]=claude_chat_created and a created_at window around the chat's created_at, find the event whose claude_chat_id matches this chat's id, and read actor.email_address. These events exist only for chats created after compliance logging was enabled for the organization.

id: string

User identifier

email_address: string

User's email address

organization_id: string⁠Deprecated

Organization ID this chat belongs to

first_id: string or null

Opaque pagination cursor for the first chat in the current result set. Pass as before_id on the next request to page backwards. Backward pagination is only supported for per-user queries (user_ids[] set); org-wide queries do not accept before_id. Clients should treat this value as an opaque string and not attempt to parse or interpret its contents, as the format may change without notice.

has_more: boolean

Whether more records exist beyond the current result set

last_id: string or null

Opaque pagination cursor for the last chat in the current result set. Pass as after_id on the next request to page forwards. Clients should treat this value as an opaque string and not attempt to parse or interpret its contents, as the format may change without notice.
