# Notes Refs: List

> List Git notes refs under a notes ref prefix with cursor pagination. Use this to discover custom notes namespaces before reading individual notes.
#### JWT claims
Required scopes: `git:read`  
Requires per repo scope: Yes



## OpenAPI

````yaml openapi.json GET /api/repos/{repo_name}/notes/refs
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  description: >-
    The Code Storage HTTP API exposes repository management, Git reads, and
    write workflows over plain HTTPS.


    ## Authentication


    Send a signed JWT in the `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header on every
    request.


    - Organisation-scoped endpoints such as `GET /api/repos` require
    organisation scopes like `org:read`

    - Repository-scoped endpoints require a JWT whose `repo` claim names the
    target repository

    - Write operations require the relevant scope such as `git:write` or
    `repo:write`


    ## Pagination


    List endpoints use cursor-based pagination.


    - `cursor` is an opaque token returned by the previous response

    - `limit` defaults to `20` and is capped per endpoint

    - `has_more` tells you whether another request is available

    - `next_cursor` becomes the next `cursor` value


    ## Paths


    Preferred routes use the shorter `/api/...` form. Legacy `/api/v1/...`
    aliases remain documented where they are still supported and are marked as
    deprecated when a preferred route exists.


    ## Repository names in paths


    - Names containing `/` (or any other character that is not safe in a URL
    path segment) **must** be URL encoded so the value occupies a single path
    segment. For example, `pierre/example` becomes `pierre%2Fexample` and the
    request URL is `/api/repos/pierre%2Fexample/...`.

    - Plain names that contain only URL-safe characters can be sent as-is:
    `/api/repos/dotfiles/...`.

    - The server URL-decodes the value before resolving the repository, so
    double-encoding is not required.


    ## Errors


    Most endpoints return RFC 9457-compatible problem details under
    `application/problem+json`, with a legacy `error` field mirrored from
    `detail`. Each problem body has a stable, snake_case `code`. Branch on
    `code`, not on `detail`. The Error codes section lists the values.


    A `429 Too Many Requests` response carries the current IETF `RateLimit`
    service-limit field and `Retry-After`. `RateLimit` reports immediately
    available quota (`r`) and its effective window in seconds (`t`);
    `Retry-After` is the minimum delay and takes precedence. The gateway's
    capacity is dynamic, so it does not advertise a fixed `RateLimit-Policy` on
    successful responses.


    Streaming commit and note workflows may return operation-specific failure
    bodies so callers can inspect partial results, branch state, or workflow
    status without parsing generic error strings.


    ## Error codes


    Each problem body has a stable `code`. Each status has a generic code. A
    specific code replaces it when the caller must take a different action. New
    codes can be added. Treat an unknown code as the generic code for its
    status.


    Generic codes: `bad_request` (400), `unauthorized` (401), `forbidden` (403),
    `not_found` (404), `method_not_allowed` (405), `request_timeout` (408),
    `conflict` (409), `precondition_failed` (412), `payload_too_large` (413),
    `unprocessable_entity` (422), `rate_limited` (429), `request_canceled`
    (499), `internal_error` (500), `not_implemented` (501), `bad_gateway` (502),
    `service_unavailable` (503), `gateway_timeout` (504). Any other status uses
    its status text in snake_case.


    Specific codes:


    - `authentication_unavailable` (403): the server cannot verify credentials
    now; retry.

    - `insufficient_scope` (403): the token does not have a scope that the
    operation requires.

    - `repo_claim_missing` (400): the token has no `repo` claim.

    - `repo_name_mismatch` (400): the request `repo_name` does not match the
    token `repo` claim.

    - `route_not_found` (404): no API route matches the path.

    - `repository_not_found` (404): the repository does not exist or the token
    cannot access it.

    - `repository_deleted` (409): the repository is already deleted.

    - `repository_thawing` (409): the repository is being restored from cold
    storage; retry after `Retry-After`.

    - `sync_in_progress` (409): an upstream sync is in progress; retry.

    - `upstream_already_configured` (409): the repository already has an
    upstream.

    - `branch_not_found` (404): the branch does not exist.

    - `ref_not_found` (404): the ref or revision does not exist.

    - `merge_conflict` (409): the merge has file conflicts.

    - `credential_not_found` (404): the Git credential does not exist.

    - `credential_exists` (409): the repository already has a Git credential.

    - `github_app_not_configured` (412): the organization does not have exactly
    one GitHub App.

    - `github_repository_inaccessible` (412, or the 4xx status from the
    upstream): GitHub does not give access to the upstream repository.

    - `hosting_not_enabled` (403): hosting is not enabled for the organization.

    - `hosting_project_not_found` (404): the repository has no hosting project.

    - `deployment_not_found` (404): the deployment does not exist.

    - `deployment_project_name_in_use` (409): another repository uses the
    hosting project name.

    - `idempotency_key_reused` (422): the idempotency key belongs to a different
    request.
