# List candidates

> Returns paginated candidate summaries with contact details, hiring-team assignments, ATS metadata, and anonymization state. Combine IDs, email, name, ATS, and record-timestamp filters to narrow results; every supplied filter is applied together. Anonymized candidates return redacted PII, and the returned cursor continues the same filtered result set.

<Note>**Beta**: this endpoint may change or be removed without notice while in beta. There is no compatibility promise until it reaches general availability.</Note>
