# Project iterations API **(STARTER)**

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/118742) in [GitLab Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 13.5.

This page describes the project iterations API.
There's a separate [group iterations API](./group_iterations.md) page.

As of GitLab 13.5, we don't have project-level iterations, but you can use this endpoint to fetch the iterations of the project's ancestor groups.

## List project iterations

Returns a list of project iterations.

```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/iterations
GET /projects/:id/iterations?state=opened
GET /projects/:id/iterations?state=closed
GET /projects/:id/iterations?title=1.0
GET /projects/:id/iterations?search=version
```

| Attribute           | Type    | Required | Description |
| ------------------- | ------- | -------- | ----------- |
| `state`             | string  | no       | Return only `opened`, `upcoming`, `started`, `closed`, or `all` iterations. Defaults to `all`. |
| `search`            | string  | no       | Return only iterations with a title matching the provided string.                              |
| `include_ancestors` | boolean | no       | Include iterations from parent group and its ancestors. Defaults to `true`.                    |
