Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production. Returns the app's [branches](/developers/references/app-management/get-started/concepts#branches), newest first. Branches imported with [Import a GitHub branch](/api-reference/import-a-github-branch) are included. While [main branch protection](/api-reference/set-main-branch-protection) is on, changes to main go through a branch. By default only active branches are returned. Set `include_merged` to `true` to also get the ones already merged into main. Deleted branches are never listed, but [Get branch](/api-reference/get-branch) still returns them. The list isn't paginated. This is limited to 300 requests per minute per app for each workspace's personal API keys, so every key in a workspace shares one allowance. List branches and Get branch share it. Some workspaces have a different limit. This endpoint accepts a personal API key belonging to a user with editor access to the app, including a read-only key. Workspace API keys are not accepted. The response includes fields beyond the ones documented here. Don't rely on undocumented response fields, as they can change at any time. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /developers/references/app-management/app-management-openapi.json get /api/apps/{app_id}/branches openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Base44 App Management API version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://app.base44.com security: - PersonalAccessTokenAuth: [] paths: /api/apps/{app_id}/branches: get: summary: List branches description: >- This API is in beta.
