## Query parameters

- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of items to return per page.
- `starting_after` (string): Cursor from the `next_cursor` field of a previous list response. Returns items immediately after the cursor position in the current sort order.
- `ending_before` (string): Cursor from the `prev_cursor` or `refresh_cursor` field of a previous list response. Returns items immediately before the cursor position in the current sort order. `prev_cursor` returns the preceding page. `refresh_cursor` anchors at the first row of that response, which on a newest-first sort is how to fetch the items that have appeared since.
- `contact_id` (string): The contact id.

## Response body

- `data` (array of object, required): Subscribers in creation order, newest first.
- `data.id` (string, required)
- `data.contact_id` (string, required)
- `data.created_at` (string, required)
- `data.updated_at` (string, required)
- `next_cursor` (nullable string, required): Cursor for the next page. Pass back as `starting_after` to advance forward. `null` when no next page exists.
- `prev_cursor` (nullable string, required): Cursor for the previous page. Pass back as `ending_before` to step backward. `null` when no previous page exists.
- `refresh_cursor` (nullable string, required): Refresh anchor, the first row of this response. Pass back as `ending_before` to fetch what precedes it in the current sort order. On a newest-first sort those are the items that have appeared since; on any other sort they are the items that sort earlier, so refreshing such a list means re-fetching it instead. Non-`null` whenever `data` is non-empty; `null` only on an empty page. Distinct from `prev_cursor`.
