# List fields

> Returns contact field definitions for the org, organized by **bucket** (a logical grouping). The response is a nested object keyed by bucket name, not a flat array.

Get contact field definitions

**Response shape:** `data` is a **flat array** of records. This endpoint ignores `page` — the full matching set comes back in one response.

        Team scope for the request, as one or more team ObjectIds. The brackets
        are required: PHP keeps only the last value for a repeated plain key, so
        `teams=A&teams=B` silently resolves to B alone. On requests with a JSON
        body you may send `teams` (no brackets) in the body instead.


        **Values that are not valid ObjectIds are silently ignored** — a
        mistyped team ID behaves as if no team was sent. See the [teams section
        of the API conventions guide](/guides/api-conventions#team-scoping).
