Retrieve Data from Universal List or Array of Lists: lists.get

If you are developing integrations for Bitrix24 using AI tools (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor), connect to the MCP server so that the assistant can utilize the official REST documentation.

Scope: lists

Who can execute the method: a user with "Read" access permission for lists

The lists.get method returns a universal list or an array of lists.

Method Parameters

Required parameters are marked with *

Name `type`	Description
IBLOCK_TYPE_ID* `string`	Identifier of the information block type. Possible values: `lists` — list information block type `bitrix_processes` — processes information block type `lists_socnet` — group lists information block type The identifier can be obtained using the lists.get.iblock.type.id method
IBLOCK_ID `integer`	Identifier of the information block
IBLOCK_CODE `string`	Symbolic code of the information block When requesting without `IBLOCK_ID` or `IBLOCK_CODE`, all lists of the specified type available to the user will be returned.
SOCNET_GROUP_ID `integer`	Group identifier. Required for group lists; otherwise, an access error will occur. The identifier can be obtained using the socialnetwork.api.workgroup.list, sonet_group.get, and sonet_group.user.groups methods
IBLOCK_ORDER `object`	Object for sorting list fields in the format `{"field_1": "value_1", ... "field_N": "value_N"}`. The sorting direction can take the following values: `asc` — ascending `desc` — descending Allowed fields: `ID` - list identifier `IBLOCK_TYPE` - information block type `NAME` - list name `CODE` - symbolic code of the list `SORT` - sorting `TIMESTAMP_X` - last modification time Default value — `decs`
start `integer`	Parameter used for pagination control. The result page size is always static — 50 records. To select the second page of results, you need to pass the value `50`. To select the third page of results — the value `100`, and so on. The formula for calculating the `start` parameter value: `start = (N - 1) * 50`, where `N` is the desired page number
