# Namespaces API **(FREE ALL)**
Usernames and group names fall under a special category called
[namespaces](../user/namespace/index.md).
You might also want to view documentation for:
- [Users](users.md)
- [Groups](groups.md)
[Pagination](rest/index.md#pagination) is used.
## List namespaces
> `top_level_only` [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/customers-gitlab-com/-/issues/7600) in GitLab 16.8.
Get a list of the namespaces of the authenticated user. If the user is an
administrator, a list of all namespaces in the GitLab instance is shown.
```plaintext
GET /namespaces
GET /namespaces?search=foobar
GET /namespaces?owned_only=true
GET /namespaces?top_level_only=true
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| ---------------- | ------- | -------- | ----------- |
| `search` | string | no | Returns a list of namespaces the user is authorized to view based on the search criteria |
| `owned_only` | boolean | no | In GitLab 14.2 and later, returns a list of owned namespaces only |
| `top_level_only` | boolean | no | In GitLab 16.8 and later, returns a list of top level namespaces only |
Example request:
```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/namespaces"
```
Example response:
```json
[
{
"id": 1,

"path": "user1",

"full_path": "foo/bar",

"trial_ends_on": null,
"trial": false,
"root_repository_size": 100,
"projects_count": 3
}
"projects_count": 3
]
```
Owners also see the `plan` property associated with a namespace:
```json
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "user1",
"plan": "silver",
...
}
]
```
Users on GitLab.com also see `max_seats_used`, `seats_in_use` and `max_seats_used_changed_at` parameters.
`max_seats_used` is the highest number of users the group had. `seats_in_use` is
the number of license seats currently being used. `max_seats_used_changed_at` shows the date when the `max_seats_used` value changed. All the values are updated
once a day.
`max_seats_used` and `seats_in_use` are non-zero only for namespaces on paid plans.
```json
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "user1",
"billable_members_count": 2,
"max_seats_used": 3,
"max_seats_used_changed_at":"2023-02-13T12:00:02.000Z",
"seats_in_use": 2,
...
}
]
```
NOTE:
Only group owners are presented with `members_count_with_descendants`, `root_repository_size`, `projects_count` and `plan`.
