#### Authorizations

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `Authorization` | `string` | - |  |

Session token from `POST /auth/login`, sent as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`.

#### Headers

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `X-Pinecone-Api-Version?` | `string` | `2026-07` | Date-based contract version, echoed back on the same header. Omit for the default (2026-07); send unstable for the in-development surface. An unrecognized value is rejected with 400 unsupported_api_version. |

#### Path Parameters

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `slug` | `string` | - | Context slug or UUID. |

#### Query Parameters

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `offset?` | `integer` | - | Where the page starts. Source and knowledge listings echo it rather than applying it, since they return the whole directory in one page. |

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `limit?` | `integer` | - | Maximum entries in the page. Source and knowledge listings echo it rather than applying it, since they return the whole directory in one page. |

#### Response

`200` — Directory listing

One page of a source or knowledge directory. A listing returns a single page, so `offset` is 0 and `next_offset` is null; `limit` echoes the request rather than being applied.

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `entries` | `object[]` | - | The directory's immediate children. |

:::accordion{title="Show child attributes"}
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | - | Entry name, not a full path. |

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `kind` | `string` | - | Whether the entry is a file or a directory. |

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `size` | `integer` | - | Byte size. 0 for a directory. |

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `mtime` | `string` | - | RFC3339 last-modified, or empty when the store reports none |
:::

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `total` | `integer` | - | Entries in this directory. |

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `offset` | `integer` | - | Echoes the request. |

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `limit` | `integer` | - | Echoes the request. |

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `next_offset?` | `integer \| null` | - | Always null — a listing returns one page. |
