# List the calling client's mandates (ALPHA)

> > **Alpha** — early access.

Returns the calling client's mandates, newest first, with the EFFECTIVE status - a pending or active mandate past its valid_until reads "expired" (derived on read; the stored status and audit columns are unchanged). Narrow the collection with the optional customer_id, signer_id, and status filters; omit them all for the full client collection.




## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.yaml get /mandates
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Dakota Platform API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Combined API specification for Dakota Platform services:

    - Issuance API: Asset minting and burning operations

    - Onboarding API: Know Your Business/Customer verification

    - On/Off Ramp API: Managing on-ramp and off-ramp accounts

    - Recipients API: Managing destinations for KYB'd entities

    - Transactions API: Viewing transaction history across platform operations


    ## Authentication and API Headers


    All API endpoints require the following headers:


    - `x-idempotency-key`: Required for all POST endpoints to ensure request
    idempotency

    - `x-api-key`: Required for authentication across all endpoints


    Note: On /applications endpoints you need a token for authentication instead
    of a x-api-key

    - `x-application-token`: Required for authentication on public /applications
    endpoints (alternative to `x-api-key` where documented)



    ## Rate Limits


    Requests are rate limited per API key. Every response includes the following
    headers:


    | Header | Description |

    | --- | --- |

    | `X-RateLimit-Limit` | Maximum requests allowed in the current one-minute
    window. |

    | `X-RateLimit-Remaining` | Requests remaining in the current window. |

    | `X-RateLimit-Reset` | Absolute Unix timestamp (seconds since epoch) when
    the current rate-limit window resets. |


    When a request is throttled (`429`), responses also include `Retry-After`
    with seconds to wait before retrying.

      `X-Sandbox-*` request headers on most write endpoints (`Customers`,
      `Accounts`, `Transactions`, simulate endpoints) that let integrators drive
      deterministic failure modes — pick a preset via `X-Sandbox-Scenario`, or
      compose a custom one with
      `X-Sandbox-Error-Step`/`X-Sandbox-Error-Status`/`X-Sandbox-Error-Message`.
      `X-Sandbox-Instant-Completion` collapses async flows to a single
      synchronous step, and `X-Sandbox-Skip-Auto-Approval` keeps newly created
      KYB applications in `pending` for manual-review testing. All `X-Sandbox-*`
      headers are ignored in production.
