# List repositories

> Repositories you can see, optionally filtered by a search query.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="get">GET</span><code>/repos</code></div>

Returns at most 50 repositories, newest first. Forks made for pull requests are left out.

- **Authentication:** Optional. Public data can be read without a token; send one to see what is private.

- **Scope:** An access token needs [`repo:read`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).

## Errors

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like `{"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}`. See [errors](/reference/api/#errors).

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
