# GET /v1/routines

> The routines of one user (user_id), or of the company's own Bash.

In [Routines API](https://vestra.ai/developers/reference/api/routines.md): Jobs Bash runs on a schedule in plain words, or whenever your system calls.

Send `Authorization: Bearer vk_test_...` on every call.

The routines of one user (user_id), or of the company's own Bash.

Your API key, scope `runtime` or `all`. On the card: [`routines`](https://vestra.ai/developers/routines.md). Every call here is a checked sample.

## Request

Query:

- `limit` (`integer`): How many items per page, 1 to 100. Default 20.
- `cursor` (`string`): Where to go on from: the `next_cursor` of the page before, unchanged. Absent: the first page.
- `user_id` (`string`): Whose routines: your id for the user. Absent: your company's own Bash's.

## Answers 200

- `data` (`object[]`): The items on this page.
  - `id` (`string`): The routine's id. Example: `rtn_8f2k`.
  - `object` (`"routine"`): Always `routine`.
  - `user_id` (`string | null`): Your id for the user whose Bash runs it; null for your company's own Bash.
  - `conversation_id` (`string | null`): The conversation each run posts into, named or made when the routine was; null for a routine not made through the API.
  - `name` (`string`): Its name.
  - `ask` (`string`): What Bash is asked on every run.
  - `kind` (`"schedule" | "trigger" | "app_event"`): `schedule`: it runs on its schedule. `trigger`: it runs when your system posts to `trigger_url`. `app_event`: an event in a connected app runs it.
  - `schedule` (`object | null`): When it runs; null for one that runs on a call.
    - `every` (`string | null`): The plain words it was given; null for a cron.
    - `cron` (`string`): The schedule as cron, worked out from `every` when it was given in words.
    - `timezone` (`string`): The zone it runs in, an IANA name.
  - `trigger` (`object | null`): For one that runs on a call, what it listens for; null for one on a schedule.
    - `filters` (`map of any | null`): What a payload must carry for it to run; null: any payload.
  - `trigger_url` (`string | null`): For one that runs on a call: POST here, with your key and any JSON object, to run it. Null otherwise.
  - `enabled` (`boolean`): false while it is paused.
  - `status` (`"active" | "completed" | "failed"`): `active`: it runs as it should. `completed`: it has finished and will not run again. `failed`: it stopped on an error.
  - `last_run_at` (`string | null`): When it last ran; null when it never has.
  - `next_run_at` (`string | null`): When it runs next; null when paused, finished, or run on a call.
  - `run_count` (`integer`): How many times it has run.
  - `created_at` (`string`): When it was made, as an ISO 8601 date and time in UTC.
