List the organizations and their ids

GET

/v1/organization

Bearer token
Permissionorganization/read
Core record

Every organization that runs exams, a page at a time (limit up to 100). Each one’s _id is the organizationId in the path of every organization-scoped operation: exams, applications, certificates, reports, sign-in links and the organization’s own student records.

mto, the organization that holds your students’ main records, is not listed. The operations without organizationId in the path act on it, so you never need its id.

Being listed does not mean your account may act on an organization. That is set by the roles an operator gave your account, and an operation on any other organization answers 403 forbidden.

The list is in no guaranteed order and rarely changes, so fetch it once and keep it.

Parameters
