# List expansions

> Every expansion, or just one series worth.

A couple of hundred expansions, paged by cursor. Pass `series_id` to narrow the list to one
series — `?series_id=sv` for everything under Scarlet & Violet.

Pass `q` to search by name. Rows then come back best-match first, each carrying a `score`, and
the cursor keeps working exactly as it does without it. The two compose — `?q=set&series_id=base`
searches inside one series. Ranking and ties behave as they do on [List cards](/cards/list).

Rows omit the series id, the official count and the legality flags; fetch
[the expansion](/expansions/get) for those.

        exactly as it does without it. The two filters compose:
        `?q=set&series_id=base` searches inside one series.
