## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `limit` | integer | No | Page size (1-500). Defaults to 50. = `50` |
| `cursor` | string | No | Opaque cursor of the page to return. Pass the value of `pagination.nextCursor` from the previous response; treat it as opaque. |
| `q` | string | No | Free-text search on the name and the external reference. |
| `sort` | string | No | Sort order: up to 3 comma-separated fields, each with a leading "-" for descending (e.g. "-updatedAt,name"). Sortable fields: createdAt, updatedAt, name, projectNumber, startDate, endDate, status. Defaults to "-createdAt". Ties are broken by id, so the order is stable across pages, and a cursor is bound to the sort it was issued with. |
| `status` | string | No | Filter by project status: draft, budgeted, confirmed, in_progress, invoiced, completed, cancelled or archived (legacy status present in old data). `draft`, `budgeted`, `confirmed`, `in_progress`, `invoiced`, `completed`, `cancelled`, `archived` |
| `contactId` | string | No | Filter by project contact identifier. |

| `includeTotal` | boolean | No | Set it to true to include `pagination.total`, the number of results that match the filters across all pages. Off by default. = `false` |
| `dateFilters` | object | No | Date filters by field. A bare day (YYYY-MM-DD) is read in the business timezone; an ISO 8601 instant with offset is applied as is by gte, lte, gt and lt, while on widens it to the whole business day that contains it. Fields: created, updated. |
| `dateFilters.created` | object | No |  |
| `dateFilters.created.gte` | string | No | From this day or instant, inclusive. |
| `dateFilters.created.lte` | string | No | Up to this day or instant, inclusive. |
| `dateFilters.created.gt` | string | No | Strictly after; a bare day means after the end of that day. |
| `dateFilters.created.lt` | string | No | Strictly before; a bare day means before the start of that day. |
| `dateFilters.created.on` | string | No | Exactly that day; an instant means the whole business day that contains it. |
| `dateFilters.updated` | object | No |  |
| `dateFilters.updated.gte` | string | No | From this day or instant, inclusive. |
| `dateFilters.updated.lte` | string | No | Up to this day or instant, inclusive. |
| `dateFilters.updated.gt` | string | No | Strictly after; a bare day means after the end of that day. |
| `dateFilters.updated.lt` | string | No | Strictly before; a bare day means before the start of that day. |
