Jira REST api project question (What is projectKeys for? and how is it different than key?)

Brian_jl34bg

I'm currently exploring the use of this API: https://my.jira-url.com/rest/api/latest/project

I use json-csv.com to convert the json to more readable csv format for my eyes.  I noticed the first column of the JSON returned is called expand.  In it there's a parameter called "projectKeys".

How is "projectKeys" different that the normal "key" that is returned.  Why would I want to use this parameter in the expand feature?

Description and lead and url I get because I don't normally receive that information unless I call them in the expand query.  I just don't get what "projectKeys" gives me that I'm normally not getting.

Thank you in advance,

Hello,

You can change the project key to any other project key. The key value returns the current project key. Projectkeys returns all project keys for the project.
