# Team API

This API can be used to create/update/delete Teams and to add/remove users to Teams. All actions require that the user has the Admin role for the organization.

## Team Search With Paging

`GET /api/teams/search?perpage=50&page=1&query=mytea`

or

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

```http
GET /api/teams/search?perpage=10&page=1&query=myteam HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=
```

### 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`.

### Using the name parameter

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

**Example Response**:

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