# Symbols

API Documentation for the BugSplat Symbols Endpoint

{% hint style="info" %}
This endpoint supports paging and filtering queries. For more information on paging, filtering, and grouping, please visit this [link](/api-reference/paging-filtering-and-grouping.md).
{% endhint %}

Get a list of the individual symbol files that have been uploaded to a database.

This endpoint returns one row per symbol file. To list symbol stores grouped by application and version, along with their crash counts and retired/full dump flags, use the [Versions](/api-reference/api/versions.md) endpoint instead.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do not confuse this endpoint with the legacy `https://app.bugsplat.com/api/symbols` route. Despite the similar name, `/api/symbols` is a deprecated alias for the [Versions](/api-reference/api/versions.md) endpoint and returns symbol stores grouped by application and version, not individual symbol files.
{% endhint %}

## Get Symbols

<mark style="color:blue;">`GET`</mark> `https://app.bugsplat.com/api/v2/symbols`

Returns the symbol files uploaded to a given database. This query supports paging, filtering, and sorting. All of the property keys on the row objects returned in `rows` can be used as column values for filtering and sorting, e.g., application, version, moduleName, size, etc. Results are sorted by `lastModified` unless a `sortdatafield` is supplied.

#### Query Parameters

### Curl Example

```bash
curl --location 'https://app.bugsplat.com/api/v2/symbols?database=fred' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ••••••'
```

Filter to a single application and sort by the largest files first:

```bash
curl --location 'https://app.bugsplat.com/api/v2/symbols?database=fred&sortdatafield=size&sortorder=desc&filterscount=1&filterdatafield0=application&filtercondition0=EQUAL&filtervalue0=myConsoleCrasher' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ••••••'
```

#### Deprecation Note

This endpoint was previously available at `https://app.bugsplat.com/api/symbolDetails`. That route still works but is deprecated and may be removed in the future. Use `https://app.bugsplat.com/api/v2/symbols` moving forward.

The deprecated route returns the same rows under a capitalized `Database`, `PageData`, and `Rows` envelope, and returns `size` as a string rather than a number.

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.bugsplat.com/api-reference/api/symbols.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
