# Personal access tokens API **(FREE)**
You can read more about [personal access tokens](../user/profile/personal_access_tokens.md#personal-access-tokens).
## List personal access tokens
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/227264) in GitLab 13.3.
> - [Moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/270200) from GitLab Ultimate to GitLab Free in 13.6.
> - `created_after`, `created_before`, `last_used_after`, `last_used_before`, `revoked`, `search` and `state` filters were [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/362248) in GitLab 15.5.
Get all personal access tokens the authenticated user has access to. By default, returns an unfiltered list of:
- Only personal access tokens created by the current user to a non-administrator.
- All personal access tokens to an administrator.
Administrators:
- Can use the `user_id` parameter to filter by a user.
- Can use other filters on all personal access tokens (GitLab 15.5 and later).
Non-administrators:
- Cannot use the `user_id` parameter to filter on any user except themselves, otherwise they receive a `401 Unauthorized` response.
- Can only filter on their own personal access tokens (GitLab 15.5 and later).
