# variantIdentifiers

query · in the family [Reading your records](/reference/reading-your-records/)

## What it does

The identifiers (barcodes/SKUs) assigned to one variant.

A variant's identifier ledger: current + superseded entries, VOIDED excluded, most-recent-first; kind/organizationId filters compose. Requires authentication; the variant is tenant-scoped server-side.

## What happens

Reads only.

## Who may call it

Capability area: **Reading your records** — Looking up and listing the records of your organization.

- Owner
- System Administrator
- Manager
- Associate Manager
- Warehouse Associate
- Sales Associate
- Cashier
- An API key whose scope allows `api:variantIdentifiers`

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `variantId` | [ID](/types/#scalars) `ID!` | yes | No further notes. |
| `kind` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | No further notes. |
| `organizationId` | [ID](/types/#scalars) | no | No further notes. |

## Returns

[IdentifierEntry](/types/IdentifierEntry/) `[IdentifierEntry!]!` — ONE ledgered identifier assignment: a kind + value borne by a Variant over an assignment window. sysId-LESS; IMMUTABLE (no edit op exists; supersededAt is the ONE set-once SYSTEM stamp; doomed = VOIDED, a correction).
