Projects API

Manage your Sanity projects using the HTTP API.

The Projects API lets you manage all your Sanity projects, including their CORS origins, datasets, roles, and tags. All requests have to be authenticated. The base URL is https://api.sanity.io.

List all projects

GET /v2021-06-07/projects

Returns a list of all projects you are a member of. The projects are ordered by creation date, with the oldest projects appearing first.

Need the currently logged-in user information?

If you don't have a user :id, you can specify me on the /users endpoint to get the details of the current user (obtained via the auth token used):

curl -sH "Authorization: Bearer <auth token>" https://api.sanity.io/v2021-06-07/users/me
