# List files

`GET /files`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.varg.ai/v2`
- URL: `https://api.varg.ai/v2/files`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

List the caller's files. Filter by creation criteria (`?tool=speech`,
`?model=eleven_turbo_v2`, `?q=hello`), by kind (`?kind=image|video|audio`
for media type, `?kind=upload|generated` for origin), or by date range
(`?from=`, `?to=`, ISO 8601). `tool`, `model` and `q` cannot be combined
with `kind`, `from` or `to`; the search filters win. `workspace` takes
precedence over every other filter.

## Query parameters

- `workspace` string
- `tool` string
- `model` string
- `q` string
- `kind` 'image' | 'video' | 'audio' | 'upload' | 'generated'
- `limit` integer
- `cursor` integer
- `from` string, date-time
- `to` string, date-time
