I have lists in my hubspot instance however every way I have tried to call /crm/v3/lists/ just returns an empty array

Passing a list id and all other list endpoints are working as expected

Has anyone encoutered this?

Hey, @TFredricks 👋 Thanks for your post. Can you double-check that you are using the [**list’s ILS**](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/guides/api/crm/lists/overview?_ga=2.4003888.1098323361.1739201253-1651796304.1738965583#search-for-a-list:~:text=To%20retrieve%20an,list%20ID%20below.) and not it’s ID when making your requests? I just tested and was able to retrieve the same list using all three provided methods.
