# List all attributes

Source: https://developers.swell.is/backend-api/attributes/list-all-attributes

Return a list of product attributes.

## Arguments

- `expand` (string): Expand link fields and child collections by using the expand argument.

  - For example, `expand=account` would return a related customer account if one exists.

  When the field represents a collection, you can specify the query limit.

  - For example, `expand=variants:10` would return up to 10 records of the variants collection.

  See [expanding](https://developers.swell.is/backend-api/querying/expanding) for more details.
- `fields` (string): Returns only the specified fields in the result.

  - For example `fields=name,slug` would return only the fields `name` and `slug` in the response.

  Supports nested object and array fields using dot-notation.

  - For example, `items.product_id`. The product `id` is always returned.
- `include` (object): Include one or more arbitrary queries in the response which are potentially related to the main query.

  See [including](https://developers.swell.is/backend-api/querying/including) for more details.
- `limit` (int): Limit the number of records returned, ranging between `1` and `1000`. Defaults to `15`. Default: `15`.
- `page` (int): The page number of results to return given the specified or default `limit`.
- `search` (string): A text search is performed using the search argument. Searchable fields are defined by the model.

  - For example, `search=red` would return records containing the word "red" anywhere in the defined text fields.

  See [searching](https://developers.swell.is/backend-api/querying/searching) for more details.
- `sort` (string): Expression to sort results by using a format similar to a SQL sort statement.

  - For example, `sort=name asc` would return records sorted by name ascending.

  See [sorting](https://developers.swell.is/backend-api/querying/sorting) for more details.
- `where` (object): An object with criteria to filter the result.

  - For example, `active=true` would return records containing a field `active` with the value `true`.

  It's also possible to use query operators, for example, `$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, and more.

  See [querying](https://developers.swell.is/backend-api/querying) for more details.
