# Get the values of a list object

Get the values of a list object by using the [GetListObjectData method](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/November2025/Subsystems/EngineJSONAPI/Content/service-genericobject-getlistobjectdata.htm).

## Example

[](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/Subsystems/EngineAPI/Content/Sense_EngineAPI/WorkingWithAppsAndVisualizations/RenderLayout/get-values-listbox.htm)

#### The goal is to get the values of a list object.

The handle of the list object is 2 and the paging is composed of the first line (qHeight is 1) and first column (qWidth is 1) from the top left (qTop and q Left set to 0).

The client sends:

```
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 3,
  "method": "GetListObjectData",
  "handle": 2,
  "params": [
    "/qListObjectDef",
    [
      {
        "qTop": 0,
        "qLeft": 0,
        "qHeight": 1,
        "qWidth": 1
      }
    ]
  ]
}
```

The engine returns:

```
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 3,
  "result": {
    "qDataPages": [
      {
        "qMatrix": [
          [
            {
              "qText": "Germany",
              "qNum": "NaN",
              "qElemNumber": 0,
              "qState": "O"
            }
          ]
        ],
        "qTails": [],
        "qArea": {
          "qLeft": 0,
          "qTop": 0,
          "qWidth": 1,
          "qHeight": 1
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

Following the paging defined, the list object contains one value Germany that is a non numeric value (qNum is NaN). The value is not selected (qState is O).
