TFS Rest API to get all the projects in a collection shows less

Question

When I was trying to get all the projects using the rest API https://fabrikam-fiber-inc.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/projects?api-version=1.0 in my collection on a On-Premise instance it showed me 100 projects where as .Net API and the actual number should be 200.

Answer 1

The default is 100 per request, add top=200 to your query string and you will get up to 200 results https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/integrate/api/tfs/projects

Answer 2

At least with my TFS 2015 install, a $ must prefix the top query string key. Example:

https://fabrikam-fiber-inc.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/projects?api-version=1.0&$top=200
