```

The ordered sections of one scope, with their task counts.

-   **Your personal scope** (`scope_type=user`) starts with Assigned, Doing and Later, created on first read.
-   **A team scope** starts empty. The team owner or an org admin manages it; everyone who can read the team can read it.

**Several scopes at once:** pass `scope_ids` (instead of `scope_id`) — scopes of one `scope_type`, answered as `{"data": [...], "scopes": [...]}`, each row carrying its own `scope_type` / `scope_id`.

-   `scope_type=user` is refused (400): personal scopes are private to their owner.
-   A scope you cannot read is **omitted**, not an error. Missing from `scopes` means not yours; present with no rows means no sections.
-   Nothing is created on this path.

## Parameters

### Query Parameters

**org\_id**

required

_Org Id_

Organization the scope belongs to.

string

Organization the scope belongs to.

**scope\_type**

required

_SectionScopeEnum_

`project`, `user` or `team`.

string

Allowed values: project team user

`project`, `user` or `team`.

**scope\_id**

Any of:

**string**


string

**null**


null

Project\_id for `project`; your own username for `user` (anyone else’s → 403); team\_id for `team`. Exactly one of `scope_id` / `scope_ids`.

**scope\_ids**

Any of:

**Array<string>**


Array<string>

**null**


null

Several scopes of `scope_type` in one read — repeatable and/or comma-separated (`scope_ids=P1&scope_ids=P2,P3`). Only for `project` and `team`; `user` is a 400.

**limit**

_Limit_

Page size; default 1000, capped at 1000.

integer

default: 1000 \>= 1

Page size; default 1000, capped at 1000.

**cursor**

Any of:

**string**


string

**null**


null

The previous page’s `next_cursor`, echoed back verbatim

**sort\_by**

Any of:

**string**


string

**null**


null

One of: position, name, created\_at. Default: the list’s natural order.

**sort\_order**

_Sort Order_

`asc` or `desc`

string

default: asc

`asc` or `desc`

### Header Parameters

**If-None-Match**

string

An `ETag` you hold; unchanged → 304 with no body.

## Responses

### 200

Successful Response

application/json

Any of:

**SectionsForScopes**
_SectionsForScopes_

What `GET /v1/sections?scope_ids=…` returns.

-   `data`: every requested scope’s sections in one list; each row carries its own `scope_type` / `scope_id`.
-   `scopes`: the scopes this response answered for, in the order asked.
-   A scope you cannot read is **omitted from both**: missing from `scopes` means not yours; in `scopes` with no rows means no sections.
-   The single-scope form (`scope_id=`) returns the plain `{data, next_cursor}` list, without `scopes`.
