# List legal documents

`GET /v1/legal-documents` · permission `legal-documents:read`

Lists the legal documents your end users are shown (terms, privacy notices, custom documents), newest first, in cursor pages. Only forward paging (`after`) is available; `before` and `order=asc` are rejected. Changing a filter invalidates cursors issued for another filter.

## Request

Query parameters:

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `limit` | integer | no | 1-100, default 20. |
| `after` | string | no | Opaque cursor from `list_metadata.after`. |
| `kind` | string | no | Filter by kind: `terms`, `privacy_notice` or `custom`. |
| `application_id` | string | no | Only documents specific to this application (`app_…`). |

## Response

`200 OK` with `data` (documents) and `list_metadata` (`before` is always `null`; `after` is `null` on the last page). No total count is returned.
