# List All Block Storage Volumes

`GET /v2/volumes`

To list all of the block storage volumes available on your account, send a GET request to `/v2/volumes`.
## Filtering Results
### By Region
The `region` may be provided as query parameter in order to restrict results to volumes available in a specific region. For example: `/v2/volumes?region=nyc1`
### By Name
It is also possible to list volumes on your account that match a specified name. To do so, send a GET request with the volume's name as a query parameter to `/v2/volumes?name=$VOLUME_NAME`.
**Note:** You can only create one volume per region with the same name.
### By Name and Region
It is also possible to retrieve information about a block storage volume by name. To do so, send a GET request with the volume's name and the region slug for the region it is located in as query parameters to `/v2/volumes?name=$VOLUME_NAME&region=nyc1`.

## Query parameters

- `name` string
- `region` 'ams1' | 'ams2' | 'ams3' | 'blr1' | 'fra1' | 'lon1' | 'nyc1' | 'nyc2' | 'nyc3' | 'sfo1' | 'sfo2' | 'sfo3' | 'sgp1' | 'tor1' | 'syd1' — The slug identifier for the region where the resource will initially be available.
- `per_page` integer
- `page` integer

## Response `200`

The response will be a JSON object with a key called `volumes`. This will be set to an array of volume objects, each of which will contain the standard volume attributes.

- object
  - `volumes` VolumeFull[], required — Array of volumes.
    - `id` string — The unique identifier for the block storage volume.
    - `droplet_ids` integer[], nullable — An array containing the IDs of the Droplets the volume is attached to. Note that at this time, a volume can only be attached to a single Droplet.
    - `name` string — A human-readable name for the block storage volume. Must be lowercase and be composed only of numbers, letters and "-", up to a limit of 64 characters. The name must begin with a letter.
    - `description` string — An optional free-form text field to describe a block storage volume.
    - `size_gigabytes` integer — The size of the block storage volume in GiB (1024^3). This field does not apply when creating a volume from a snapshot.
    - `created_at` string — A time value given in ISO8601 combined date and time format that represents when the block storage volume was created.
    - `tags` string[], nullable — A flat array of tag names as strings applied to the resource. <br><br>Requires `tag:read` scope.
    - `region` object — The region that the block storage volume is located in. When setting a region, the value should be the slug identifier for the region. When you query a block storage volume, the entire region object will be returned.
      - `name` string, required — The display name of the region. This will be a full name that is used in the control panel and other interfaces.
      - `slug` string, required — A human-readable string that is used as a unique identifier for each region.
      - `features` string[], required — This attribute is set to an array which contains features available in this region
      - `available` boolean, required — This is a boolean value that represents whether new Droplets can be created in this region.
      - `sizes` string[], required — This attribute is set to an array which contains the identifying slugs for the sizes available in this region. sizes:read is required to view.
    - `filesystem_type` string — The type of filesystem currently in-use on the volume.
    - `filesystem_label` string — The label currently applied to the filesystem.
  - `links` PageLinks
    - `pages` union
      - ForwardLinks
        - `last` string — URI of the last page of the results.
        - `next` string — URI of the next page of the results.
      - BackwardLinks
        - `first` string — URI of the first page of the results.
        - `prev` string — URI of the previous page of the results.
      - unknown
  - `meta` object, required — Information about the response itself.
    - `total` integer, required — Number of objects returned by the request.

## Other responses

- `401` — Authentication failed due to invalid credentials.
- `429` — The API rate limit has been exceeded.
- `500` — There was a server error.
- `default` — There was an unexpected error.
