# zephyr_get_test_cases

Get details of test cases in Zephyr Parameters: - projectKey (string): Jira project key filter - folderId (number): Folder ID filter - limit (number): Specifies the maximum number of results to return in a single call. The default value is 10, and the maximum value that can be requested is 1000. Note that the server may enforce a lower limit than requested, depending on resource availability or other internal constraints. If this happens, the result set may be truncated. Always check the limit value in the response to confirm how many results were actually returned. (default: 10) - startAtId (number): Zero-indexed starting position for ID-based pagination. (default: 0) - updatedAfter (string): Filter only entities updated after the given time. Format: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z' Examples: 1. Get the first 10 Test Cases json { "limit": 10, "startAtId": 1 } Expected Output: The first 10 Test Cases with their details 2. Get any Test Case json { "limit": 1 } Expected Output: One Test Case with its details 3. Get five Test Cases starting from the ID 123 json { "limit": 5, "startAtId": 123 } Expected Output: Five Test Cases starting from the ID 123 with their details 4. Get one Test Case from the project PROJ json { "projectKey": "PROJ", "limit": 1 } Expected Output: One Test Case from project PROJ with its details 5. Get one Test Case from the folder with ID 123 json { "folderId": 123, "limit": 1 } Expected Output: One Test Case from folder with ID 123 with its details
