# List assistants

Requires `assistants:read`.

The list holds the assistants this credential may use, all in one response. A personal connection sees the assistants its owner may use. An API key limited to some assistants sees only those.

```http
GET https://api.lookio.app/v1/assistants
```

## Authorizations

- `Authorization` (bearer, in header, required)
