# Get cost types

`GET /public/v1/cost-types`

List cost types for the authenticated company. A cost type is a reusable, company-scoped
category of cost accounting figure (e.g. freight, labor) with a default per-unit amount and a
unit of measure. Cost types are configuration, not transactions — they are the templates you
draw from when applying a cost to a plant, a package or batch, an assembly or breakdown output,
a purchase item, or a product. Each applied cost snapshots its own amount and quantity at apply
time, so a cost type's values here only seed future applications and never restate historical
costs.

Results are scoped to your company and ordered oldest-first by creation time. Both active and
inactive cost types are returned; soft-deleted ones are excluded. The response is paginated —
follow the `next_page` URL to page through the full set.

Required permission: `costs_permissions_manage_cost_types`.
