# List eSIM coverage zones

`GET /v1/esim/zones`

Returns the coverage zones behind the offer catalog as a cursor-paginated list. A zone's `countries` list is authoritative for every offer that references it. Filter by `country` to find zones covering a destination.

## Code samples

**CLI**

```sh
bird esim zones list
```

## Query parameters

- `sort` (string)

  Field to sort by. Possible values: created_at.

  Possible values: `created_at`
- `order` (string)

  Sort direction. Defaults to `desc`, which sorts from newest to oldest or largest to smallest, depending on the selected sort field.

  Possible values: `asc`, `desc`
- `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.
- `include_total` (boolean): When true, the response includes a `total` field with the total number of items matching the request's filters across all pages.
- `country` (string): Keep only zones that include this country (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2).

## Response body

- `data` (array of object, required): Zones, newest first.
- `data.id` (string, required)
- `data.name` (string, required): Human-readable zone name.
- `data.revision` (integer, required): Increments whenever the country list changes.
- `data.type` (string, required)
- `data.countries` (array of string, required): Countries covered by the zone, as ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes.
- `data.created_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`.
- `total` (nullable integer): Total number of items matching the request's filters across all pages. Present only when `include_total=true` was passed; otherwise `null`.
