## Returns

A dictionary with a `data` property that contains an array of up to `limit` files, starting after the `starting_after` file. Each entry in the array is a separate file object. If there aren’t additional available files, the resulting array is empty.

## Parameters

- [`created`](https://docs.stripe.com/api/files/list.md?query=created) (object, optional)
  Only return files that were created during the given date interval.

- `ending_before` (string, optional)
  A cursor for use in pagination. `ending_before` is an object ID that defines your place in the list. For instance, if you make a list request and receive 100 objects, starting with `obj_bar`, your subsequent call can include `ending_before=obj_bar` in order to fetch the previous page of the list.

- `limit` (integer, optional)
  A limit on the number of objects to be returned. Limit can range between 1 and 100, and the default is 10.

- `purpose` (string, optional)
  Filter queries by the file purpose. If you don’t provide a purpose, the queries return unfiltered files.

- `starting_after` (string, optional)
  A cursor for use in pagination. `starting_after` is an object ID that defines your place in the list. For instance, if you make a list request and receive 100 objects, ending with `obj_foo`, your subsequent call can include `starting_after=obj_foo` in order to fetch the next page of the list.
