GetProjects
Project management service 1.8: List projects
| Service | Project management 1.8 |
| Endpoint | POST https://app{server-number}.timelog.com/{account}/WebServices/ProjectManagement/V1_8/ProjectManagementServiceSecure.svc |
| SOAPAction | GetProjectsRequest |
| Content-Type | text/xml; charset=utf-8 |
| Authentication | A token from GetToken |
| Changes data | No |
| Safe to retry | Yes |
How it works
Watch the defaults: statusID 0 is NOT 'all' but 'Quote' - send -1 for all statuses; includeInactiveProjects false returns active projects only. No paging and no defined order.
Parameters
Each parameter has one label: Required, Conditional (required depending on other values) or Optional. Send them in the order shown.
Optional. Default 0 = all customers. Only projects of this customer.
Optional. Default 0 = all.
Optional. Default false = active projects only. true = active and inactive projects; false = only active projects.
Optional. Default 0 = Quote ONLY; -1 = all statuses. Only projects in this status.
The token from GetToken: Initials, Expires and Hash, sent back unchanged.

Request block is shortened.Errors
All errors come back with HTTP 200: check ResponseState, ErrorCode and Messages. The errors every operation can return (expired or invalid token, API not enabled, HTTPS required, general errors) are listed once in Responses and errors.
This operation has no errors of its own beyond the shared ones.
