# List episodes

POST https://api.getzep.com/api/v4/graphs/{graph_uuid}/episodes/list
Content-Type: application/json

Lists the episodes of a graph. `filters.mentioned_node_uuids` restricts
the results to episodes that mention any of the listed node UUIDs. The
list can also contain episode UUIDs: an episode UUID matches that episode,
so one request can return a known set of episodes. At most 256 entries.
`filters.metadata_filters` restricts the results to episodes whose stored
metadata matches the predicate.

## Types

### v4.Episode

- `retained_count` (integer, optional) — The number of derived candidates that were published to the graph.
- `revision` (integer, optional) — The project revision number of the policy the graph bound.
- `status` (enum, optional) — The evaluation status. pending means the evaluation has not finished, complete means every candidate was evaluated and the graph batch was written, and failed means ingestion retries were exhausted.
  - Allowed values: `pending`, `complete`, `failed`
