# List campaigns

`GET https://api.tryscouty.com/v1/campaigns`

Lists the campaigns this brand has on Scout, with how many creators are on each and when applications close. signedCreators counts the people scouty_list_applicants lists for that campaign: creators the team accepted or has still to accept, signed or not, and creators in or through the activation flow, each person once.

- Scope: `campaigns:read`

- MCP tool: `scouty_list_campaigns`
