List team tokens

Lists the team tokens in an organization.

GET organizations/:organization_name/team-tokens

Parameter	Description
`:organization_name`	The name of the organization whose team tokens you want to list.

This endpoint returns object metadata and does not include secret authentication details of tokens. You can only view a token when you create it and cannot recover it later.

By default, this endpoint returns tokens by ascending expiration date.

Status	Response	Reason
200	JSON API document (`type: "team-tokens"`)	The request was successful.
200	Empty JSON API document	The specified organization has no team tokens.
404	JSON API error object	Organization not found.

Query parameters

This endpoint supports pagination with standard URL query parameters and searching with the q parameter. Remember to percent-encode [ as %5B and ] as %5D if your tooling doesn't automatically encode URLs.

Parameter	Description
`page[number]`	Optional. If omitted, the endpoint returns the first page.
`page[size]`	Optional. If omitted, the endpoint returns 20 tokens per page.
`q`	Optional. A search query string. You can search for a team authentication token using the team name.
`sort`	Optional. Allows sorting the team tokens by `"team-name"`, `"created-by"`, `"expired-at"`, and `"last-used-at"`. Prepending a hyphen to the sort parameter reverses the order. For example, `"-team-name"` sorts by name in reverse alphabetical order. If omitted, the default sort order ascending.
