Hi @venkatesh reddy 

As @Trudy Claspill mentioned the classification Kanban is for the agile board not the project. Boards are on top of other software project in Jira.

There is however a way to get all boards using this REST end point.

JIRAURL/rest/agile/1.0/board

You will get a response like this.

"values": [{"id": 19,"self": "JIRAURL.atlassian.net/rest/agile/1.0/board/19","name": "EP board","type": "kanban","location": {"projectId": 10035,"displayName": "Epics (EP)","projectName": "Epics","projectKey": "EP","projectTypeKey": "software","avatarURI": "/secure/projectavatar?size=small&s=small&pid=10035&avatarId=10405","name": "Epics (EP)"}},

Notice "type": "kanban", it will tell you if the board is scrum or kanban.

For the list of projects you can use this end point.

JIRAURL.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/project

In the JSON response you can find "projectTypeKey": "software" that will tell you the project type.

I hope it helps.

Projects are not classified as Kanban or Scrum. That is the classification for an agile board. 

Kanban and Scrum define the behavior of the agile board. An agile board is based on a saved filter that can reference 1..n projects. A project can have more than one board that shows its issues so a project's issue may appear on multiple boards - both Kanban and Scrum.

So, the answer to your question is there is no way to get a list of "Kanban projects" because there is no such thing as a Kanban project. There are only Kanban boards.
