Lists transactional emails created through the API, newest first. Campaign sends and test emails are excluded (`campaignId` null, `isTest` false). Permission: `emails`.

List rows are metadata plus `last_event`. They do not include `html`, `text`, or `tags`. Fetch the body with [Get Email](/docs/api-reference/v2/emails-get).

## Query Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| ---- | ---- | ----------- |
| `limit` | integer | Page size. Default `20`. Min `1`, max `100`. |
| `after` | string | Return emails older than this id (next page, walking backward in time). |
| `before` | string | Return emails newer than this id. |

Pass `after` or `before`, not both. The cursor must be an email id that exists in this organization.

## Response Fields

| Field | Type | Description |
| ----- | ---- | ----------- |
| `object` | `"list"` | Discriminator. Always `list`. |
| `has_more` | boolean | `true` when another page exists in the same direction. |
| `data` | array | Email objects, newest first. Same fields as Get Email except `object`, `html`, `text`, and `tags`. |

`last_event` uses the same mapping as [Get Email](/docs/api-reference/v2/emails-get#last-event).

## Errors

| Status | `name` | When |
| ------ | ------ | ---- |
| 401 | `missing_api_key` | Missing or invalid bearer token |
| 403 | `validation_error` | Token lacks the `emails` permission |
| 422 | `validation_error` | Both `after` and `before`, or cursor id not found |
