# List Models¶

**GET** `/v1/models`¶

List available models.¶

The Models API response can be used to determine which models are available for use in the API. More recently released models are listed first.¶

## Query parameters¶

- `after_id: optional string`¶

ID of the object to use as a cursor for pagination. When provided, returns the page of results immediately after this object.¶

- `before_id: optional string`¶

ID of the object to use as a cursor for pagination. When provided, returns the page of results immediately before this object.¶

- `limit: optional number`¶

Number of items to return per page.¶

Defaults to `20`. Ranges from `1` to `1000`.¶

default: 20, minimum: 1, maximum: 1000¶

## Headers¶

- `"anthropic-workspace-id": optional string`¶

Optional header to select the Workspace for this request. The value is a Workspace ID (for example, `wrkspc_011CZkZaBF1tNoB5wlCeusgy`).¶

Only needed for credentials that can act on more than one Workspace. A credential that belongs to a specific Workspace may omit it; if sent, it must match that Workspace.¶

- `"anthropic-beta": optional array of AnthropicBeta`¶

**Deprecated**: Deprecated. This parameter will be removed from this method in a future release. To use beta features, call the beta models methods (`client.beta.models`) instead.¶

Optional header to specify the beta version(s) you want to use.¶
