# List approvals

`GET /approvals`

Lists all submitted time entry and expense item approvals for the organization.

A more typical scenario is to include approvals when getting time entries or expense items by specifying `fields=approvals` as a query parameter on the respective endpoints.

## Query parameters

- `per_page` integer — The maximum number of items to show per response page.
- `page` integer — The response page to return.
- `fields` 'approvables'

## Response `200`

A paginated list of approval records.

    - `page` integer — The current response page number.
    - `previous` string, nullable — If you're on the first page, this value is `null`; otherwise the value is the path and query parameters to get the previous page of items.
    - `self` string — The path and query parameters to get the current page of items.
    - `next` string, nullable — If there are more items, this value is the path and query parameters to get the next page of items; otherwise, it's `null`.
