# Get company IPOs
> Returns a company's IPOs, newest first. Most companies have zero or one; dual-listed or re-listed companies may have more. Fetch a single IPO with [Get IPO by ID](/api-reference/transactions/get-ipo-by-id), or the issuing company with [Get company by ID](/api-reference/companies/get-company-by-id).
Costs 1 credit per request.
## Behaviour
- Ordered by `went_public_on` descending, with nulls last.
- Page through results with `limit` and `page` (`page` is zero-based; `limit` defaults to 50, max 1000).
- Returns `404` if the company ID doesn't exist. A company with no IPOs returns `200` with an empty array.
