# List skills

> Lists skills with optional filters. The catalog combines global ESCO rows with the organization's custom rows. Filter by category (case-insensitive partial match), skillType (skill/competence | knowledge), reuseLevel (transversal | cross-sector | sector-specific | occupation-specific), collection (digital | green | digcomp | language | research | transversal) or externalId for scoped lookups.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.v1.local.json get /v1/public/skills
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Agile Tools Public API
  description: >-
    REST API for integrating external systems with Agile Tools.


    ## Authentication


    Most endpoints require an `X-API-Key` header containing a valid owner-typed
    API key. Supported ownership types are `ORGANIZATION`, `PERSON`, and
    `VALUE_UNIT`. Anonymous library browsing endpoints use short-lived session
    tokens instead.


    ## Scope Behavior


    Wildcard scope (`*`) is organization-only. Value-unit keys are restricted to
    value-unit-centric endpoint families and descendant scope checks. Personal
    keys default to personal-empty scope unless explicit permissions are
    granted. Cross-organization key governance is out of scope for
    `/v1/public/*` and is handled by `/v1/sys/public-api-keys`.


    ## Rate Limiting


    Requests are rate-limited per API key based on your subscription plan. When
    a limit is exceeded the API returns `429 Too Many Requests` with a
    `Retry-After` header.


    ## Idempotency


    POST and PUT requests support idempotent replay via the optional
    `Idempotency-Key` header. Selected high-risk KPI and Health Metric write
    endpoints require this header to ensure safe retries without duplicate
    side-effects.


    ## Response Envelope


    Public v1 and v2 response contracts coexist during migration. Authenticated
    public endpoints use `PublicApiKeyMeta` semantics (`requestId`, `timestamp`)
    and anonymous public endpoints use `PublicAnonymousMeta` semantics.
    Anonymous library endpoints may add `PublicAnonymousLibraryMeta` tab-count
    metadata while authenticated public endpoints do not define a library
    tab-count metadata branch.


    ## Public Docs Visibility Policy


    Published public docs intentionally exclude anonymous Sessions and Library
    endpoints. Those v1 anonymous flows remain runtime-stable but are not listed
    in Mintlify-facing OpenAPI output.


    ## Migration Guidance


    For list endpoints, migrate in stages: keep v1 stable, adopt v2 offset mode
    first, then adopt v2 cursor mode where needed. Fallback expectation: clients
    may continue using v1 while v2 adoption is rolled out incrementally.


    ## Versioning & Deprecation Policy


    Breaking changes require a new major version (`/v2/`). Non-breaking
    additions ship in the current version. Deprecated endpoints include a
    `Sunset` HTTP header with the removal date. Minimum notice period: 6 months.
