# List Tabular Fields

`GET /api/v1/meta/tables`

Returns a list of all tabular (table-based) fields available in the account. Each table includes its alias and the fields it contains with their IDs, names, and types. Use this endpoint to discover which table names are valid for the table row endpoints (e.g., jobInfo, compensation, employmentStatus). For fields whose type is `list`, `multilist`, or another option-backed type, the field `id` can be matched to `fieldId` from `list-list-fields` to retrieve the account-level option list.
