# List Models

**GET** `/v1/models`

List available models.

The Models API response can be used to determine which models are available for use in the API. More recently released models are listed first.

## Query parameters

- `after_id: optional string`

  ID of the object to use as a cursor for pagination. When provided, returns the page of results immediately after this object.

- `before_id: optional string`

  ID of the object to use as a cursor for pagination. When provided, returns the page of results immediately before this object.

- `limit: optional number`

  Number of items to return per page.

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

  default: 20, minimum: 1, maximum: 1000

## Headers

- `"anthropic-workspace-id": optional string`

  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.

- `"anthropic-beta": optional array of AnthropicBeta`

  **Deprecated**: Deprecated. This parameter will be removed from this method in a future release. To use beta features, call the beta models methods (`client.beta.models`) instead.

  Optional header to specify the beta version(s) you want to use.
