# List snippets

> Returns every snippet on the account. Each snippet's `key` is the identifier used in Liquid — `{{ snippet.key }}` — when creating a broadcast or sequence email. See [Create a snippet](/api-reference/snippets/create-a-snippet) for how snippets work end-to-end.

**Tip:** the heavier `content` and `document` fields are omitted by default to keep responses fast. Pass `include_content=true` when you need the body — for example, to render a preview or audit Liquid usage.

Filter the result with `snippet_type` (`inline` or `block`) and `archived` (defaults to `false`, set `true` to list only archived snippets).
