Can you retrieve deleted branch policy configurations using the Azure DevOps Rest APIs?

Question

I am using the Azure DevOps REST APIs to do some branch policy audit work. I want to see all the policy configurations, active and deleted. The API: https://dev.azure.com/organization/project/_apis/policy/configurations/?api-version=5.0 only returns active policy configurations. In-active ones should have the isDeleted flag as true. I can access those policy configurations if I already know the configuration ID and if it is included in the API call like this: https://dev.azure.com/organization/project/_apis/policy/configurations/7001?api-version=5.0

I was wondering if there is a way to list deleted policy configurations associated with a repository or project.

Answer 1

Rest API does not currently support querying deleted policy configuration. When get a list of policy configuration, REST API below only output the policy not deleted:

GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/policy/configurations?api-version=5.0
