# dap list

Get the list of all tables available in a namespace.

Get a list of available tables within a selected namespace. This can help you identify which tables are available for further operations, such as snapshots or incremental updates.

### Usage

```
dap [arguments] list [flags]
```

### Options

**`--namespace <string>`**\
Specifies the data source (namespace). Available options: {canvas, canvas\_logs, catalog, new\_quizzes}.

### Global options

**`--client-id <string>`**\
Client ID obtained from the Identity Service. Skip, if `DAP_CLIENT_ID` environment variable is set.

**`--client-secret <string>`**\
Client Secret obtained from the Identity Service. Skip, if `DAP_CLIENT_SECRET` environment variable is set.

**`-h, --help`**\
Displays help information for the command.

### Output

Table names are printed to `stdout`, one per line. There is no JSON output mode for this command.

```
access_tokens
accessibility_issues
account_users
accounts
...
```

For scripting, use `--non-interactive --loglevel warning` to suppress log lines from `stderr`:

```sh
dap --non-interactive --loglevel warning list --namespace canvas
```

### Error handling

| Scenario              | Exit code | Error output                                                            |
| --------------------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Invalid namespace     | 5         | `ERROR - The namespace '<name>' specified in the request is not valid.` |
| Missing `--namespace` | 2         | `Error: Missing option '--namespace'.`                                  |

### Examples

List tables from the `canvas` namespace:\
`$ dap list --namespace canvas`

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developerdocs.instructure.com/services/dap/dap-cli-readme/dap-cli-reference/dap-cli-reference-list.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
