# List Files

`client.Files.List(ctx, params) (*PageCursor[FileMetadata], error)`

**GET** `/v1/files`

List Files

## Parameters

- `params FileListParams`

  - `IDs []string Optional` (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.

  - `Limit param.Opt[int64] Optional` (query parameter)

    Number of items to return per page.

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

    minimum: 1, maximum: 1000

  - `Page param.Opt[string] Optional` (query parameter)

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

  - `WorkspaceID param.Opt[string] Optional` (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

- `type FileMetadata`

  - `Type File`

    Object type.

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

  - `ID string`

    Unique object identifier.

    The format and length of IDs may change over time.

  - `CreatedAt Time`

    RFC 3339 datetime string representing when the file was created.

    format: date-time

  - `Filename string`

    Original filename of the uploaded file.

    minLength: 1, maxLength: 500

  - `MimeType string`

    MIME type of the file.

    minLength: 1, maxLength: 255

  - `SizeBytes int64`

    Size of the file in bytes.

    minimum: 0

  - `Downloadable bool Optional`

    Whether the file can be downloaded.

    default: false

  - `ExpiresAt Time Optional`

    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

```go
package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go"
	"github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go/option"
)

func main() {
	client := anthropic.NewClient(
		option.WithAPIKey("my-anthropic-api-key"),
	)
	page, err := client.Files.List(context.TODO(), anthropic.FileListParams{})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err.Error())
	}
	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", page)
}
```
