Path parameters

  • orgId string Required

    Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the organization that contains your projects. Use the /orgs endpoint to retrieve all organizations to which the authenticated user has access.

    Minimum length is 24, maximum length is 24. Format should match the following pattern: ^([a-f0-9]{24})$.

Query parameters

  • envelope boolean

    Flag that indicates whether Application wraps the response in an envelope JSON object. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query. Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Application adds the status parameter to the response body.

    Default value is false.

  • pretty boolean

    Flag that indicates whether the response body should be in the prettyprint format.

    Default value is false.
