# List recipients

# List recipients

Lists distinct recipients across all certificates in the workspace, grouped by email. Supports search and offset pagination.

## Authorization

```http
Authorization: Bearer vc_...
```

Requires a **full-access** API key (empty permissions list) and an active Pro seat. Keys restricted to `certificates:read` alone cannot call this route — see [Scopes](/docs/api/scopes).

## Path parameters

  
- `slug*` string — Workspace slug Example: `acme`.

## Query parameters

  
- `search?` string — Filter by name, email, or certificate name Example: `ada`.

  
- `status?` string — Filter by recipient status. Takes the same values as [List issues](/docs/api/issues/list#recipient-status). Example: `issued`.

  
- `certificate?` UUID — Only recipients of this certificate Example: `550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000`.

  
- `limit?` integer — Page size (1–200). Defaults to `50`. Example: `50`.

  
- `offset?` integer — Number of items to skip. Defaults to `0`. Example: `0`.

## Request

```bash
curl "https://api.verifycate.com/api/v1/workspaces/acme/recipients?limit=50&offset=0" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer vc_your_api_key"
```

```javascript
const res = await fetch(
  "https://api.verifycate.com/api/v1/workspaces/acme/recipients?limit=50&offset=0",
  { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer vc_your_api_key" } },
);
const page = await res.json();
```

```go
req, _ := http.NewRequest(
	"GET",
	"https://api.verifycate.com/api/v1/workspaces/acme/recipients?limit=50&offset=0",
	nil,
)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer vc_your_api_key")
```

```python
import urllib.request

req = urllib.request.Request(
    "https://api.verifycate.com/api/v1/workspaces/acme/recipients?limit=50&offset=0",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer vc_your_api_key"},
)
with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as res:
    print(res.read().decode())
```
