Path parameters

Parameters

Parameters
`parent`	`string` Required. The parent resource name. In the format: `projects/{projectId}/databases/{databaseId}/documents` or `projects/{projectId}/databases/{databaseId}/documents/{document_path}`. For example: `projects/my-project/databases/my-database/documents` or `projects/my-project/databases/my-database/documents/chatrooms/my-chatroom`
`collectionId`	`string` Optional. The collection ID, relative to `parent`, to list. For example: `chatrooms` or `messages`. This is optional, and when not provided, Firestore will list documents from all collections under the provided `parent`.

parent

string

Required. The parent resource name. In the format: projects/{projectId}/databases/{databaseId}/documents or projects/{projectId}/databases/{databaseId}/documents/{document_path}.

For example: projects/my-project/databases/my-database/documents or projects/my-project/databases/my-database/documents/chatrooms/my-chatroom

collectionId

string

Optional. The collection ID, relative to parent, to list.

For example: chatrooms or messages.

This is optional, and when not provided, Firestore will list documents from all collections under the provided parent.

Query parameters

Parameters
`pageSize`	`integer` Optional. The maximum number of documents to return in a single response. Firestore may return fewer than this value.
`pageToken`	`string` Optional. A page token, received from a previous `documents.list` response. Provide this to retrieve the subsequent page. When paginating, all other parameters (with the exception of `pageSize`) must match the values set in the request that generated the page token.
`orderBy`	`string` Optional. The optional ordering of the documents to return. For example: `priority desc, __name__ desc`. This mirrors the `ORDER BY` used in Firestore queries but in a string representation. When absent, documents are ordered based on `__name__ ASC`.
`mask`	`object (DocumentMask)` Optional. The fields to return. If not set, returns all fields. If a document has a field that is not present in this mask, that field will not be returned in the response.
`showMissing`	`boolean` If the list should show missing documents. A document is missing if it does not exist, but there are sub-documents nested underneath it. When true, such missing documents will be returned with a key but will not have fields, `createTime`, or `updateTime` set. Requests with `showMissing` may not specify `where` or `orderBy`.
Union parameter `consistency_selector`. The consistency mode for this transaction. If not set, defaults to strong consistency. `consistency_selector` can be only one of the following:
`transaction`	`string (bytes format)` Perform the read as part of an already active transaction. A base64-encoded string.
`readTime`	`string (Timestamp format)` Perform the read at the provided time. This must be a microsecond precision timestamp within the past one hour, or if Point-in-Time Recovery is enabled, can additionally be a whole minute timestamp within the past 7 days. Uses RFC 3339, where generated output will always be Z-normalized and use 0, 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits. Offsets other than "Z" are also accepted. Examples: `"2014-10-02T15:01:23Z"`, `"2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z"` or `"2014-10-02T15:01:23+05:30"`.
