List document categories

list_categories

Returns the system and custom categories of the organization with the number of cards visible to the caller's data profile.

Authentication

Send an API key in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer <key>.

Query parameters

  • limitinteger

    Page size. Without limit and cursor the whole list is returned; with it, at most limit items, and the next page is given in the Link (rel="next") and X-Next-Cursor headers.

    ≥ 1, ≤ 200

  • cursorstring

    Cursor of the next page from X-Next-Cursor or next_cursor of the previous response with the same filters; it carries the page size. Together with offset: 422 validation.failed; a cursor of another list, other filters or a malformed one: 400 api.cursor_invalid.

    length ≤ 512

Header parameters

  • X-View-Asstring

    For API keys with the admin role only. Makes the request as the data profile <profile>[:viewer|verifier|editor], for example employee:viewer. The installation key cannot use this header (403).

Cookie parameters

  • kb_view_asstring

    Cookie of the “View as” mode for a session. POST /auth/view-as sets it and DELETE /auth/view-as clears it.

Responses

200OK

Response headers

  • Link

    Address of the next page, <…>; rel="next". No header means this is the last page.

  • X-Next-Cursor

    Cursor of the next page for the cursor parameter. No header means this is the last page.

  • RateLimit-Policy

    Limits in effect, in the format of the IETF draft draft-ietf-httpapi-ratelimit-headers: comma-separated items "<name>";q=<quota>;w=<window in seconds>. key is the request rate of the API key (the quota is the burst, the window is the time to refill it fully; for a session it is user, without credentials ip); minute, day and month are the organization's quotas for the calendar minute, day and month in UTC.

  • RateLimit

    What is left of each limit in RateLimit-Policy: "<name>";r=<remaining>;t=<seconds until reset>.

  • X-RateLimit-Limit

    Limit of the strictest entry in RateLimit-Policy (the one with the fewest requests left).

  • X-RateLimit-Remaining

    Requests left under the strictest limit.

  • X-RateLimit-Reset

    Seconds until the strictest limit resets.

Error codes

Codes this endpoint can return in error.code, besides the general codes of every request.
