Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

The Atlas Administration API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request. To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Get Started with the Atlas Administration API.

You must grant your API Key the Project Read Only role to successfully call this endpoint.

GROUP-ID
string
Required

This endpoint may use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. These are all optional.

Default
pageNum
integer
Optional
Page number, starting with one, that Atlas returns of the total number of objects.

Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Atlas adds the status parameter to the response body.

false

This endpoint doesn't use HTTP request body parameters.

The response JSON document includes an array of result objects, an array of link objects and a count of the total number of result objects retrieved.
