# List loans

GET https://api.spreadspace.app/api/loans

Lists loans across every borrower you can see, newest first.

Requires the `loans:read` scope. Rate limit: 200 requests per minute per key (the `api` lane).

Reference: https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/api-reference/loans/list-all

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Bearer token. Use `ss_live_…` for live data or `ss_test_…` for the sandbox (test mode). See [Authentication](https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/authentication).

## Request

### Query parameters

- `limit` (integer, optional, default: 50) — Page size, 1 to 100. Defaults to 50. A value outside the range answers 400 `invalid_limit`.
- `cursor` (string, optional) — The `next_cursor` from the previous page.
- `include` (string, optional) — Expand each loan with `borrower`, `documents`, or both separated by a comma.

### Headers

- `SpreadSpace-Version` (string, optional) — Pin the API version, e.g. `2026-10-07`. Omit to get the latest. See [Versioning](https://docs.spreadspace.app/api/versioning).

## Response

### 200

OK

- `data` (list of LoanResponse, required)
- `has_more` (boolean, required)
- `next_cursor` (string, optional, nullable)

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Bad request: validation failed, the cursor is malformed, or the API version is unknown.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized: the bearer token or API key is missing or invalid.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 402 Payment Required Error

Payment required: the standard error envelope with `type` `subscription_required` when the workspace has no active or trialing subscription, or `billing_required` where a plan entitlement applies.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 403 Forbidden Error

Forbidden: authentication succeeded but the caller is not permitted to perform this action, for example an API key missing the required scope, an embed session reaching a loan it was not minted for, or a feature outside the workspace's plan.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 404 Not Found Error

Not found: the resource does not exist or is not visible to the calling tenant.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

Too many requests: the rate limit was hit, or an idempotency-key replay is still in progress.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

### 500 Internal Server Error

Internal server error: an unexpected failure. Quote the `request_id` in support tickets. A mutation sent with an `Idempotency-Key` replays this fault under that key rather than re-running; confirm the resource state before resending with a new key.

- `error` (ApiErrorBody, required) — Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

## Types

### LoanResponse

- `loan_id` (string, required)
- `borrower_id` (string, required)
- `assignees` (list of LoanAssigneeResponse, required)
- `status` (string, required)
- `created_at` (datetime, required)
- `updated_at` (datetime, required)
- `borrower` (LoanBorrowerSummary, required, nullable) — Borrower summary nested into a LoanResponse when the caller requests `?include=borrower` on a loan list endpoint. Carries the borrower metadata the list surface already exposes (name, entity type, location, industry), never a tax identifier, so a per-loan borrower read is not needed.
- `borrower_name` (string, optional, nullable)
- `loan_type` (string, optional, nullable)
- `loan_sub_type` (string, optional, nullable)
- `loan_type_label` (string, optional, nullable)
- `loan_sub_type_label` (string, optional, nullable)
- `name` (string, optional, nullable)
- `loan_number` (string, optional, nullable)
- `requested_amount` (string, optional, nullable) — Monetary amount as a decimal string with exactly two decimal places. From 0.00 through 999999999999.99.
- `rate_type` (string, optional, nullable)
- `interest_rate` (double, optional, nullable)
- `term_months` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `priority` (string, optional, nullable)
- `notes` (string, optional, nullable)
- `guarantors` (list of string, optional, nullable) — Guarantor names declared on the loan. Gated like Notes: null when the caller may not read the loan file, and null when none were declared.
- `documents` (list of LoanDocumentSummary, optional, nullable) — Nested per-loan document summaries. Populated only when the loan list endpoint was called with `?include=documents` and the caller may read this loan, and null otherwise. The field is always present on the wire; an empty list means the loan has no documents yet.

### ApiErrorBody

Inner body of the canonical API error envelope.

- `type` (string, required) — Stable error type identifier. Pattern-match on this value, not the human-readable message.
- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable error message. Subject to wording changes; do not parse.
- `request_id` (string, optional, nullable) — Per-request correlation ID (matches `X-Request-ID` response header). Quote in support tickets.
- `details` (map from string to string, optional, nullable) — Structured detail. Some error types populate documented keys in every environment: a version conflict (409) carries `current_version`, the version the resource is actually at, so the client can reload and re-apply. Free-form diagnostic detail beyond those keys appears in development environments only. An `insufficient_credits` 402 carries `balance_usd`, `reserved_usd`, `in_flight_docs`, `incoming_docs` and `per_doc_reservation_usd` as decimal strings.

### LoanAssigneeResponse

One user assigned to a loan. `display_name` and `email` are present for workspace callers only; an API-key or embed caller receives `user_id` and `assigned_at` alone.

- `user_id` (string, required)
- `assigned_at` (datetime, required)

### LoanBorrowerSummary

Borrower summary nested into a LoanResponse when the caller requests `?include=borrower` on a loan list endpoint. Carries the borrower metadata the list surface already exposes (name, entity type, location, industry), never a tax identifier, so a per-loan borrower read is not needed.

- `borrower_id` (string, required)
- `name` (string, required)
- `dba_name` (string, optional, nullable)
- `legal_entity_type` (string, optional, nullable)
- `city` (string, optional, nullable)
- `state` (string, optional, nullable)
- `industry` (string, optional, nullable)

### LoanDocumentSummary

Per-document summary row nested into a LoanResponse when the caller requests `?include=documents`. Summary only (id, category, filename, extraction status, the sentence for a document that could not be extracted, created at), never the extracted figures. Nested only for loans the caller may read.

- `extracted_document_id` (string, required)
- `document_category` (string, required)
- `created_at` (datetime, required)
- `original_filename` (string, optional, nullable)
- `extraction_status` (string, optional, nullable)
- `unextractable_reason` (string, optional, nullable) — A sentence you can show for a document that could not be extracted, for example a bank statement that did not include all of its pages. Null otherwise.
