# Get a list of SAML Connections for an instance

`GET /saml_connections`

> **Deprecated.**

Returns the list of SAML Connections for an instance.
Results can be paginated using the optional `limit` and `offset` query parameters.
The SAML Connections are ordered by descending creation date and the most recent will be returned first.
Deprecated: Use the Enterprise Connections API instead. This endpoint will be removed in future versions.

## Query parameters

- `limit` integer
- `offset` integer
- `query` string
- `order_by` string
- `organization_id` string[]

## Response `200`
