Get project list to check user how many project access to particular apikey 2. Retrieve available fields of each project list including projectID, name, projectKey, isArchived, viewIds and folderPath needed for other operations 3. Validate project access and permissions Examples: 1. Get list of project available to user json { "params": { "showArchive": false } } Expected Output: Project active/non archived list including some important fields like projectID, name, projectKey, isArchived, viewIds and folderPath needed for other operations 2.

Get not active/archived projects json { "params": { "showArchive": true } } Expected Output: List of all projects including archived ones (showArchive: true sent in payload) 4. Filter projects by name json { "filter": "[{\"value\":\"MAC\",\"type\":\"string\",\"field\":\"name\"}]" } Expected Output: Filtered list of projects matching the name criteria 5. Filter projects by project key json { "filter": "[{\"value\":\"MAC\",\"type\":\"string\",\"field\":\"projectKey\"}]" } Expected Output: List of projects filtered by project key (e.g. 'MAC', 'UT', etc.) Hints: 1. Fetch list of projects available to user 2. Use 'default' project key when user doesn't specify one 3. Use params.showArchive: true/false to get archived/non-archived projects, default is false when not provided 4. Pagination supported for large result sets (start, page, limit parameters) 5. Filter parameter should be a JSON string with filter criteria 6. Common filter fields: 'name' (string), 'projectKey' (string)
