# List Bulk Syncs

GET https://app.polytomic.com/api/bulk/syncs

Lists bulk syncs in the caller's organization.

Results are ordered by `updated_at` descending, with `id` as a tiebreaker for
syncs modified at the same instant. Pagination uses an opaque
`pagination.next_page_token` returned in the response; pass it back as the
`page_token` query parameter to fetch the next page. The `limit` parameter is
optional, and the default and maximum page size is 50 syncs.

> 📘 To retrieve a specific sync, use
> [`GET /api/bulk/syncs/{id}`](../../../api-reference/bulk-sync/get)
> instead of filtering the list client-side.
