## List charts

**GET** `/v1/projects/{project_id}/charts`

Full URL: `https://developer-api.amplitude.com/v1/projects/{project_id}/charts`

**Servers:**
- Production: `https://developer-api.amplitude.com/v1/projects/{project_id}/charts`
- Staging: `https://developer-api.stag2.amplitude.com/v1/projects/{project_id}/charts`

List charts

Returns saved charts in the project. Results are paginated with cursor-based
pagination. Chart definitions are omitted; use GET chart with
`include_definition=true` to retrieve a read-only definition.

Pagination uses an opaque numeric cursor (offset into the current sorted
search result set). Each list query can access at most **10,000** matching
charts from the search index; pages beyond that window return fewer items
and `next_cursor: null` even when more charts may exist in the project.
Use filters (`q`, `chart_type`) to narrow large projects.

Sortable fields are `updated_at` and `name`; prefix with `-` for descending.
Defaults to `-updated_at` (most recently updated first). `created_at` is not
supported in this API version.

## Authorizations

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Authorization | string | Yes | — | http |

## Path parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| project_id (path) | string | Yes | 12345 | Amplitude project identifier, backed by the canonical app ID. Constraints: pattern: ^[0-9]+$ |

## Query parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| cursor (query) | string | No | — | Opaque cursor from `pagination.next_cursor` on the previous response. Numeric offsets are capped by the underlying search index (10,000 results per query). Well-formed pagination stops before that window; requests whose cursor would exceed it return 400 `pagination_not_supported`. Constraints: nullable |
| limit (query) | integer | No | 50 | Number of items to return. Defaults to 50, max 200. Constraints: min: 1, max: 200 |
| q (query) | string | No | — | Full-text search query. |
| chart_type (query) | string | No | — | Filter list results to a specific chart type. Use `unknown` to return charts whose type is not represented by a public API value. Allowed values: event_segmentation, sessions, funnels, retention, composition, revenue_ltv, stickiness, data_table, engagement_matrix, metric_explorer, growth_accounting, impact, users, unknown |
| sort (query) | string | No | -updated_at | Sort field. Prefix with `-` for descending. Supported values are `updated_at` and `name`. |

## Response (application/json)

**200** — Successful response.

| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| data | object[] | Yes | — | — |
| data.id | string | Yes | — | Stable chart identifier. |
| data.object | string | Yes | — | Resource-type discriminator. Always `chart`. |
| data.project_id | string | Yes | — | Constraints: pattern: ^[0-9]+$ |
| data.name | string | Yes | — | — |
| data.description | string | No | — | Constraints: nullable |
| data.chart_type | string | Yes | — | Public chart type discriminator (snake_case). All values may appear on list/get; query returns `422` (`unsupported_chart_type`) for types outside the v1 supported matrix. Unsupported or unrecognized chart types are surfaced as `unknown`. New chart types may be added over time. Clients should treat `unknown` as "a chart type this API version does not model yet". Allowed values: event_segmentation, sessions, funnels, retention, composition, revenue_ltv, stickiness, data_table, engagement_matrix, metric_explorer, growth_accounting, impact, users, unknown |
| data.created_at | string | Yes | — | ISO-8601 creation time, or `null` when unavailable. Constraints: format: date-time, nullable |
| data.updated_at | string | Yes | — | ISO-8601 last-modified time, or `null` when unavailable. Constraints: format: date-time, nullable |
| data.created_by | string | No | — | Chart creator. The creator's email when available, otherwise a login identifier; `null` when the creator cannot be resolved. Constraints: nullable |
| data.url | string | Yes | — | Deep link to the chart in the Amplitude UI. Constraints: format: uri |
| data.archived | boolean | Yes | — | Whether the chart is archived. |
| data.definition | object | No | — | Read-only chart definition. Returned only when `include_definition=true` on GET chart. Shape is unstable and may change between API versions; not intended for authoring. |
| pagination | object | Yes | — | — |
| pagination.next_cursor | string | Yes | — | Cursor for the next page, or `null` on the last page. Chart list responses may stop before all project charts are enumerated because the search backend caps each query at 10,000 sorted hits. Constraints: nullable |
| pagination.has_more | boolean | Yes | — | — |
