# List audiences

`GET /v1/audiences`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://us1.platform.bird.com`
- URL: `https://us1.platform.bird.com/v1/audiences`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in cookie `bird_session`

Returns a paginated list of audiences in the workspace, newest first. Filter to audiences whose name contains a substring with `q`.

## Query parameters

- `q` string
- `limit` integer
- `starting_after` string
- `ending_before` string

## Headers

- `X-Workspace-Id` string
- `X-Organization-Id` string

## Response `200`

A page of audiences.

- AudienceList
  - `data` Audience[], required: Page of audience objects.
    - `id` string, required
    - `name` string, required: Display name for the audience.
    - `description` string, nullable: Longer description of who this audience is.
    - `type` 'static', required: How the audience's recipients are determined. `static` is an explicit member list you manage by adding and removing contacts.
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required
    - `updated_at` string, date-time, required
  - `next_cursor` string, nullable, required: Cursor for the next page. Pass back as `starting_after` to advance forward. `null` when no next page exists.
  - `prev_cursor` string, nullable, required: Cursor for the previous page. Pass back as `ending_before` to step backward. `null` when no previous page exists.
  - `refresh_cursor` string, nullable, required: Refresh anchor, the first row of this response. Pass back as `ending_before` to fetch what precedes it in the current sort order. On a newest-first sort those are the items that have appeared since; on any other sort they are the items that sort earlier, so refreshing such a list means re-fetching it instead. Non-`null` whenever `data` is non-empty; `null` only on an empty page. Distinct from `prev_cursor`.
