# Models

## List Models

`$client->models->list(?string afterID, ?string beforeID, ?int limit, ?list<AnthropicBeta> betas): Page<ModelInfo>`

**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.

### Parameters

- `afterID?:optional string`

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

- `beforeID?: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 int`

  Number of items to return per page.

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

- `betas?:optional list<AnthropicBeta>`

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

### Returns

- `ModelInfo`

  - `string id`

    Unique model identifier.

  - `?ModelCapabilities capabilities`

    Model capability information.

  - `\Datetime createdAt`

    RFC 3339 datetime string representing the time at which the model was released. May be set to an epoch value if the release date is unknown.

  - `string displayName`

    A human-readable name for the model.

  - `?int maxInputTokens`

    Maximum input context window size in tokens for this model.

  - `?int maxTokens`

    Maximum value for the `max_tokens` parameter when using this model.

  - `"model" type`

    Object type.

    For Models, this is always `"model"`.

### Example

```php
<?php

require_once dirname(__DIR__) . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$client = new Client(apiKey: 'my-anthropic-api-key');

$page = $client->models->list(
  afterID: 'after_id',
  beforeID: 'before_id',
  limit: 1,
  betas: ['message-batches-2024-09-24'],
);

var_dump($page);
```
