List the calling organization’s boards, ordered by creation time descending. Archived rows are excluded.

Pass fields to trim the response to the properties you actually need — e.g. ?fields=name,html_url returns just those (plus id, always). Unknown names are rejected rather than ignored.

Required scope: boards:read. Rate-limit cost: 5.

Authorizations

bearerAuth

Parameters

Query Parameters

limit

integer

>= 1 <= 100

Max rows per page (1–100). Default 25.

cursor

string

Pagination cursor returned as next_cursor from the previous page.

space_id

required

string format: uuid

Example

6916bc3d-e1ab-425b-ac25-eefada01a9a2

Required. The single space to query, as a UUID. The API reads one space at a time — comma-separated lists and wildcards are not accepted, and there is no implicit default.

fields

string

Return only these properties of each board, instead of the full object. id is always included. Omit for the complete object. Selectable: id, name, description, organization_id, space_id, created_at, updated_at, html_url.

The request was malformed (invalid cursor, unknown type, validation failure, etc.). error.code is bad_request.

application/json

Canonical error envelope. code is stable across releases and intended for programmatic handling; message is human-readable. details only appears for validation failures and lists the offending fields.

Resource doesn’t exist or is outside the token’s space allow-list. The two cases share a response shape so a restricted token can’t probe for the existence of out-of-scope spaces. error.code is not_found.
