# GET /voices/library

**Voice Library**

Your personal library — **everything you can narrate with right now**: your own
finished voices plus the ones you added from the public catalogue.

This is the practical list for picking a `voice_id`: unlike `GET /voices`, it never
contains unfinished or rejected voices. Each entry has your local nickname
(`nickname`) and an availability flag, filterable through `available`.

**Required key permission:** `voices.read`.

- Required scope: `voices.read`

## Request

```bash
curl -X GET 'https://api.lumean.app/api/public/voices/library' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  -H 'X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY'
```

## Parameters

| Field | In | Type | Req. | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `available` | query | `boolean` | — | Only voices usable for generation right now (`true`), or only unusable ones (`false`). |
| `search` | query | `string` | — | Search by your nickname for the voice and by its original name. |
| `language_code` | query | `string` | — | Language filter, ISO-639-1 (`ru`, `en`, `de`, …). |
| `sort_by` | query | `string` — `added_at` · `created_at` · `nickname` | — | Sort field. Defaults to `added_at`. |
| `sort_order` | query | `string` — `asc` · `desc` | — | Sort direction. |
| `per_page` | query | `integer` | — | How many records to return per page. Pagination metadata sits next to `items`: `current_page`, `last_page`, `per_page`, `total`. |

## Request body

No body.

## Responses

### 200 — Success. The payload is in `data`.

**Response fields**

| Field | Type | Req. | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `success` | `boolean` | required | Success flag. Branch on the HTTP status code instead: any 2xx response carries `true` here, while an error comes back in a different shape that need not contain this field at all. |
| `message` | `string` | required | A human-readable note in the account language. Fine to show to a user; do not parse it — the wording changes without notice and is not an error code. |
| `data` | `UserLibraryList` | required | Voices you have added to your personal library. |
| `data.items` | `array<object>` | required | Records on the current page, in the list’s sort order. |
| `data.current_page` | `integer` | required | Current page number, starting from one. |
| `data.last_page` | `integer` | required | Number of the last page. The walk is over once `current_page` equals `last_page`. |
| `data.per_page` | `integer` | required | Page size the server applied. |
| `data.total` | `integer` | required | Total number of records matching the filter. |
