Returns up to 100 IDs at a time by default in sorted order (bitwise "C" collation). If the `limit` parameter is set, `list` returns up to that number of IDs instead. Whenever there are additional IDs to return, the response also includes a `pagination_token` that you can use to get the next batch of IDs. When the response does not include a `pagination_token`, there are no more IDs to return.

For guidance and examples, see [List record IDs](/guides/manage-data-list-record-ids).

**Note:** `list` is supported only for serverless indexes.

```shell curl theme={null}
# To get the unique host for an index,
# see https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/manage-data/target-an-index
PINECONE_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
INDEX_HOST="INDEX_HOST"

curl -X GET "https://$INDEX_HOST/vectors/list?namespace=example-namespace&prefix=doc1#&limit=3" \
  -H "Api-Key: $PINECONE_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Pinecone-Api-Version: 2025-10"
```

```json curl theme={null}
{
  "vectors": [
    { "id": "doc1#chunk1" },
    { "id": "doc1#chunk2" },
