# List dataset examples

> List examples for a given dataset and version.

If version is not passed, the latest version is selected. Examples are
returned in ascending order of `created_at`, with `id` as a tiebreaker.
This order is stable across pages, so cursor pagination never skips or
repeats an example.

**Human annotations**: returned in the structured `annotations` array on
each example. Each entry includes `name`, optional `label` / `score` /
`text` / `updated_at`, and an `annotator` (id + email) for per-user
annotations.

**Pagination**:
- Response includes `pagination` with `has_more` and `next_cursor`.
- Use cursor-based pagination by passing the returned `next_cursor`
value as the `cursor` query parameter in subsequent requests.
