# Team API

> Note
> 
> Starting in Grafana 13, `/api` endpoints are being deprecated in favor of the `/apis` route. Note that while Grafana is working on migrating existing APIs, currently there may not be an exact match to the legacy API you’re using.
> 
> **This change doesn’t disrupt or break your current setup**. Legacy APIs are not being disabled and remain fully accessible and operative, but `/api` routes will no longer be updated.
> 
> To learn more refer to the [new API structure in Grafana](/docs/grafana/next/developer-resources/api-reference/http-api/apis/).

This API can be used to manage Teams and Team Memberships.

Access to these API endpoints is restricted as follows:

- All authenticated users are able to view details of teams they are a member of.
- Organization Admins are able to manage all teams and team members.

> If you are running Grafana Enterprise, for some endpoints you’ll need to have specific permissions. Refer to [Role-based access control permissions](/docs/grafana/latest/administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/custom-role-actions-scopes/) for more information.

## Team Search With Paging

`GET /api/teams/search?perpage=50&page=1&query=myteam&sort=memberCount-desc`

or

`GET /api/teams/search?name=myteam`

**Required permissions**

See note in the [introduction](#team-api) for an explanation.

**Example Request**:

http ![Copy code to clipboard](/media/images/icons/icon-copy-small-2.svg) Copy

```http
GET /api/teams/search?perpage=10&page=1&query=mytestteam HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer glsa_iNValIdinValiDinvalidinvalidinva_5b582697
```

**Example Response**:

http ![Copy code to clipboard](/media/images/icons/icon-copy-small-2.svg) Copy

```http
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "totalCount": 1,
  "teams": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "orgId": 1,
      "name": "MyTestTeam",
      "email": "",
      "avatarUrl": "\/avatar\/3f49c15916554246daa714b9bd0ee398",
      "memberCount": 1
    }
  ],
  "page": 1,
  "perPage": 1000
}
```

### Using the query parameter

Default value for the `perpage` parameter is `1000` and for the `page` parameter is `1`.

The `totalCount` field in the response can be used for pagination of the teams list E.g. if `totalCount` is equal to 100 teams and the `perpage` parameter is set to 10 then there are 10 pages of teams.

The `query` parameter is optional and it will return results where the query value is contained in the `name` field. Query values with spaces need to be URL encoded e.g. `query=my%20team`.

The `sort` param is an optional comma separated list of options to order the search result. Accepted values for the sort filter are: `name-asc`, `name-desc`, `email-asc`, `email-desc`, `memberCount-asc`, `memberCount-desc`. By default, if `sort` is not specified, the teams list will be ordered by `name` in ascending order.

### Using the name parameter

The `name` parameter returns a single team if the parameter matches the `name` field.

#### Status Codes:

- **200** - Ok
- **400** - Bad Request
- **401** - Unauthorized
- **403** - Permission denied
- **404** - Team not found (if searching by name)
