## Request

**Query parameters**

| Name | Type | Required | Description |

| `limit` | integer | no | Items per page (1 to 100, default 20). 1 to 100; default `20` |
| `cursor` | string | no | next_cursor from the previous page. Opaque; only valid with the same filters. up to 300 characters |

## Lists, filters and sorting

- Items per page: `limit` from 1 to 100, default 20 (MCP: default 20, maximum 50).
- Next page: send `next_cursor` of the answer as `cursor`. The cursor only works with the same filters. See [Pagination](https://docs.smartchat.marketing/en/concepts/pagination/).
- Filters: none.
- Sorting: default `created_at` descending; `order_by` accepts `created_at`.
