# List items

`GET /v1/memory/collections/{collection}/items`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.zavu.dev`
- URL: `https://api.zavu.dev/v1/memory/collections/{collection}/items`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Items in one scope of a collection, by key in lexicographic order. Narrow with `prefix` — key your documents so a prefix is meaningful (`order:2026-08:...`) and this becomes a range scan rather than a filter.

## Path parameters

- `collection` string, required

## Query parameters

- `scope` string: Scope as a query-string value: `contact:<contactId>`, `conversation:<conversationId>`, the literal `project`, or omitted for project scope. Only the SHAPE of the id is validated, never its existence — the partition already carries your project, so an id that matches nothing simply addresses an empty scope rather than returning 404.
- `prefix` string
- `limit` integer
- `cursor` string

## Response `200`

Items in the scope.

- object
  - `items` MemoryItem[], required
    - `key` string, required
    - `value` unknown
    - `rev` integer, required: Revision, incremented on every write. Pass it as `If-Match` on a later write to make that write conditional.
    - `createdAt` string, date-time, required
    - `updatedAt` string, date-time, required
    - `expiresAt` string, date-time
  - `nextCursor` string, nullable

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid scope or query parameters.
- `401`: Unauthorized.
- `404`: `collection_not_found`: no collection with that name. A collection exists once it is created or written to.
