get_projects

This action retrieves a list of projects that exist within an area in the ExtraView database. For a full explanation of areas and projects, please consult the Administration Guide.

SYNTAX

http://www.myserver.com/evj/ExtraView/ev_api.action?
user_id=username
&password=password
&statevar=get_projects
&area_id=nn
[&access_token=token-value]

NOTES

The value of the area_id, nn, must exist in the database, else the command will fail.

The asterisk (*) in the return shows the currently selected project. The delimiter ‘:’ in the example is the system delimiter stored in the application default named DEFAULT_TEXT_REPORT_DELIMITER.

Sample return from the get_projects function:

*0:(default values)
 
1:Customer Projects
 
2:Internal Projects
 
3:Documentation
 
4:Marketing Requirements
 

The optional access_token parameter allows you to use a valid OAuth2 token obtained with the get_token command.  If you provide the access_token parameter, then the user_id and password parameters should not be provided.  This prevents the password being sent in clear text over your network connection.
