+# List Room API
+
+The List Room admin API allows server admins to get a list of rooms on their
+server. There are various parameters available that allow for filtering and
+sorting the returned list. This API supports pagination.
+
+## Parameters
+
+The following query parameters are available:
+
+* `from` - Offset in the returned list. Defaults to `0`.
+* `limit` - Maximum amount of rooms to return. Defaults to `100`.
+* `order_by` - The method in which to sort the returned list of rooms. Valid values are:
+  - `alphabetical` - Same as `name`. This is deprecated.
+  - `size` - Same as `joined_members`. This is deprecated.
+  - `name` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by room name. This is the default.
+  - `canonical_alias` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by main alias address of the room.
+  - `joined_members` - Rooms are ordered by the number of members. Largest to smallest.
+  - `joined_local_members` - Rooms are ordered by the number of local members. Largest to smallest.
+  - `version` - Rooms are ordered by room version. Largest to smallest.
+  - `creator` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by creator of the room.
+  - `encryption` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by the end-to-end encryption algorithm.
+  - `federatable` - Rooms are ordered by whether the room is federatable.
+  - `public` - Rooms are ordered by visibility in room list.
+  - `join_rules` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by join rules of the room.
+  - `guest_access` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by guest access option of the room.
+  - `history_visibility` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by visibility of history of the room.
+  - `state_events` - Rooms are ordered by number of state events. Largest to smallest.
+* `dir` - Direction of room order. Either `f` for forwards or `b` for backwards. Setting
+          this value to `b` will reverse the above sort order. Defaults to `f`.
+* `search_term` - Filter rooms by their room name. Search term can be contained in any
+                  part of the room name. Defaults to no filtering.
+
+The following fields are possible in the JSON response body:
+
+* `rooms` - An array of objects, each containing information about a room.
+  - Room objects contain the following fields:
+    - `room_id` - The ID of the room.
+    - `name` - The name of the room.
+    - `canonical_alias` - The canonical (main) alias address of the room.
+    - `joined_members` - How many users are currently in the room.
+    - `joined_local_members` - How many local users are currently in the room.
+    - `version` - The version of the room as a string.
+    - `creator` - The `user_id` of the room creator.
+    - `encryption` - Algorithm of end-to-end encryption of messages. Is `null` if encryption is not active.
+    - `federatable` - Whether users on other servers can join this room.
+    - `public` - Whether the room is visible in room directory.
+    - `join_rules` - The type of rules used for users wishing to join this room. One of: ["public", "knock", "invite", "private"].
+    - `guest_access` - Whether guests can join the room. One of: ["can_join", "forbidden"].
+    - `history_visibility` - Who can see the room history. One of: ["invited", "joined", "shared", "world_readable"].
+    - `state_events` - Total number of state_events of a room. Complexity of the room.
+* `offset` - The current pagination offset in rooms. This parameter should be
+             used instead of `next_token` for room offset as `next_token` is
+             not intended to be parsed.
+* `total_rooms` - The total number of rooms this query can return. Using this
+                  and `offset`, you have enough information to know the current
+                  progression through the list.
+* `next_batch` - If this field is present, we know that there are potentially
+                 more rooms on the server that did not all fit into this response.
+                 We can use `next_batch` to get the "next page" of results. To do
+                 so, simply repeat your request, setting the `from` parameter to
+                 the value of `next_batch`.
+* `prev_batch` - If this field is present, it is possible to paginate backwards.
+                 Use `prev_batch` for the `from` value in the next request to
+                 get the "previous page" of results.
+

+Paginating through a list of rooms:
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms?order_by=size
+
+{}
+```
+
+Response:
+
+```
+{
+  "rooms": [

+    }
+  ],
+  "offset": 0,
+  "total_rooms": 150
+  "next_token": 100
+}
+```
+
+The presence of the `next_token` parameter tells us that there are more rooms
+than returned in this request, and we need to make another request to get them.
+To get the next batch of room results, we repeat our request, setting the `from`
+parameter to the value of `next_token`.
+
+```
+GET /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms?order_by=size&from=100
+
+{}
+```
+
+Response:
+
+```
+{
+  "rooms": [
+    {
+      "room_id": "!mscvqgqpHYjBGDxNym:matrix.org",
+      "name": "Music Theory",
+      "canonical_alias": "#musictheory:matrix.org",
+      "joined_members": 127
+      "joined_local_members": 2,
+      "version": "1",
+      "creator": "@foo:matrix.org",
+      "encryption": null,
+      "federatable": true,
+      "public": true,
+      "join_rules": "invite",
+      "guest_access": null,
+      "history_visibility": "shared",
+      "state_events": 93534
+    },
+    ... (48 hidden items) ...
+    {
+      "room_id": "!twcBhHVdZlQWuuxBhN:termina.org.uk",
+      "name": "weechat-matrix",
+      "canonical_alias": "#weechat-matrix:termina.org.uk",
+      "joined_members": 137
+      "joined_local_members": 20,
+      "version": "4",
+      "creator": "@foo:termina.org.uk",
+      "encryption": null,
+      "federatable": true,
+      "public": true,
+      "join_rules": "invite",
+      "guest_access": null,
+      "history_visibility": "shared",
+      "state_events": 8345
+    }
+  ],
+  "offset": 100,
+  "prev_batch": 0,
+  "total_rooms": 150
+}
+```
+
+Once the `next_token` parameter is no longer present, we know we've reached the
+end of the list.
+
+# DRAFT: Room Details API
