# Get Authentications

> Retrieve Authentications for a specific App, scoped to those owned by the user.

<Note>
  [Authentication
  Schema](/powered-by-zapier/api-reference/common-types/authentication)
</Note>

Once you've [selected an App](/powered-by-zapier/api-reference/apps/get-apps-\[v2]), you can fetch the list of Authentications a user owns for that App by making a request to the [`/authentications endpoint`](/powered-by-zapier/api-reference/authentications/get-authentications):

```json theme={null}
// GET /authentications?app=81f613aa-c98a-4383-a5fc-195e68647217
{
  "links": {
    "next": null,
    "prev": null
  },
  "meta": {
    "count": 1,
    "limit": 10,
    "offset": 0
  },
  "data": [
    {
      "type": "authentication",
      "id": "example_akLLd8kB",
      "app": "81f613aa-c98a-4383-a5fc-195e68647217",
      "is_expired": false,
      "title": "Google Sheets some.user@mycompany.example"
    }
  ]
}
```

<Info>
  This endpoint returns only *owned* Authentications. Shared Authentications are
  excluded because Zaps can only be created using credentials that belong to the
  current user.
</Info>

You’ll typically use this endpoint after selecting an App to identify which Authentication the user should use when configuring a Zap or Action.

<Tip>
  Working with a lot of credentials? Use the `limit` and `offset` parameters to
  paginate through results.
</Tip>

<Note>
  This API is [rate limited](/powered-by-zapier/api-reference/rate-limiting).
