# List Files with Metadata

> Return a recursive file tree together with per-file commit metadata in one request. Each file also includes a derived `type` field for symmetry with `/files`.
#### JWT claims
Required scopes: `git:read`  
Requires per repo scope: Yes



## OpenAPI

````yaml https://api.pierre.code.storage/api/openapi.json get /api/repos/{repo_name}/files/metadata
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`.


    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.
