# List Available Work Channels

`GET /work/channels/available`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1/work/channels/available`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The organization's channels this credential is not part of.

The channel browser. An ``open`` channel carries its description and member
count; a ``private`` one answers with identity only, so a room nobody here
belongs to is listed without leaking anything about it. Built-ins and
archived channels are absent.

## Headers

- `Authorization` string, nullable
- `X-Target-Org-Id` string, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

    - `channels` WorkAvailableChannel[]: Channels the caller is not part of
      - `id` string, nullable: Channel id
      - `name` string, nullable: Channel slug
      - `displayName` string, nullable: Human-readable name
      - `description` string, nullable: Present for `open` channels only
      - `memberCount` integer, nullable: Present for `open` channels only
      - `visibility` string, nullable: `open` or `private`
  - `pagination` PaginationMeta
    - `page` integer, required: Current page number (1-indexed)
    - `limit` integer, required: Items per page
    - `total` integer, required: Total number of items

    - `next_cursor` string, nullable: Opaque cursor for the next page; null when there are no more items. Pass it back as the `cursor` query param to fetch the following page without computing page numbers.
    - `total_available` integer, nullable: Search endpoints only: how many records really match, when known. Can be larger than `total`, which is capped at the 10,000 results that can be paged. For company search this is a distinct-company estimate. Null when unknown; absent outside search.
    - `total_is_lower_bound` boolean, nullable: Search endpoints only: true when more records match than `total` shows (the result set is larger than the 10,000 results that can be paged). Absent outside search.
    - `notes` string[], nullable: Search endpoints only: plain-language notes about the result, e.g. that more records match than can be paged, or that a reversed `between` range was put in order.
