# List contact fields

> List the contact field definitions in your workspace: the built-in standard fields (`type: "standard"` — always active and read-only) followed by your custom fields (`type: "custom"`). Custom fields are either `org_managed` (created in the UI or via this API) or `integration_managed` (owned by a connected integration). Archived custom fields are hidden unless `include_archived=true`.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json get /v1/contact-fields
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Tented API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    The Tented public API: generate, publish, and manage AI-built web pages
    (tents), and run the email platform — contacts, reusable emails, one-time
    blasts, and triggered flows.


    ## Authentication

    Authenticate every request with a workspace API key: `Authorization: Bearer
    <api-key>`. Keys are created in **Workspace Settings → API Keys** and are
    scoped to a single workspace.


    ## Asynchronous work

    Tent generation, bulk creation, and email AI generation return `202
    Accepted` immediately. Poll the corresponding status endpoint (`GET
    /v1/tents/{tentId}`, `GET /v1/bulk-jobs/{bulkJobId}`, `GET
    /v1/emails/{emailId}/generations/{generationId}`) — no more than every 10
    seconds.


    ## Pagination

    Email listings use cursor pagination (`cursor`/`next_cursor`). Blast, flow,
    and member listings use page pagination (`page`/`limit` with a `pagination`
    object in the response).


    ## Conventions

    Request and response fields are snake_case, with two exceptions: analytics
    query parameters (`tentIdOrAlias`, `daysBack`) and segment rule trees
    (camelCase keys such as `listId` and `timeWindow`).
