# Retrieve Multiple Components

GET

```html
https://mapi.storyblok.com/v1/spaces/:space_id/components
```

Retrieve an array of component objects.

This endpoint also returns information about [component folders (groups)](/docs/api/management/component-folders) in a separate key named `component_groups`.

## Path parameters

    Numeric ID of a space
    

## Query parameters

-   `by_ids` (string)
    
    Filter by comma-separated IDs
    
-   `sort_by` (string)
    
    Sort components an ascending or descending order by a specific property. Following are a few options and examples:
    
    -   Retrieve content type blocks first: `is_nestable:asc,is_root:desc`
    -   Retrieve nestable blocks first: `is_nestable:desc,is_root:asc`
    -   Retrieve universal blocks first: `is_nestable:desc,is_root:desc`
    
    This endpoint also supports properties like `name` and `updated_at`.
    
-   `is_root` (boolean)
    
    Retrieve components based on their `is_root` property:
    
    -   Set to `true` to retrieve all the components that can be used as content type blocks
    -   Set to `false` to retrieve all the nestable blocks.
    
-   `search` (string)
    
    Search by `name` or `display_name`
    
-   `in_group` (string)
    
    Find components in a specific folder using its `UUID`
