# List glossary terms

`GET /api/v1/glossary/list`

Retrieve a paginated list of all glossary terms

## Query parameters

- `limit` integer
- `offset` integer

## Response `200`

OK

- GlossaryListResult
  - `terms` GlossaryTerm[]
    - `created_at` string
    - `definition` string — Definition is what the last run wrote. On a term a person has worded themselves the read path serves UserDefinition here instead, so a caller always gets the wording the catalog stands behind.
    - `deleted_at` string
    - `description` string
    - `id` string
    - `metadata` object
    - `name` string
    - `owners` GlossaryOwner[]
      - `email` string
      - `id` string
      - `name` string
      - `profile_picture` string
      - `type` string — "user" or "team"
      - `username` string — Only for user owners
    - `parent_term_id` string
    - `tags` string[]
    - `updated_at` string
    - `user_definition` string — UserDefinition is the wording a person gave the term. Ingestion reads it and never writes it, so it survives every run.
  - `total` integer

## Other responses

- `500` — Internal Server Error
