# Branch List
13
14
**Status:** implemented, at least in draft form, on 20110921.
15
16
**Required privileges:** "o"
17
18
**Request:** `/json/branch/list`
19
20
**Response payload example:**
21
22
```json
23
{
24
"range":"closed",
25
"current":"json", /* only when there is a local opened checkout */
26
"branches":[
27
"artifact_description",
28
"bch",
29
"ben-changes-report",
30
"ben-safe-make",
31
"ben-security",
32
"ben-testing",
33
34
]
35
}
36
```
37
38
*Potential* TODO: add "tip" property which names the most recently
39
modified branch? (How to get this?)
40
41
HTTP GET/`POST.payload` options:
42
43
- `range`: a string in the set ("open", "closed", "all"),
44
case-sensitive, but only the first letter is actually evaluated.
45
Default="open". Only branches with this state are returned.
46
47
CLI mode options (same semantics as HTTP equivalents), must come last on
48
the CLI:
49
50
- `-r|--range all|closed|open`
51
- `-a` (equivalent to `-r all`)
52
- `-c` (equivalent to `-r closed`). Only one of `-a`/`-c` may be specified,
53
and if both are specified then which one takes precedence is
54
unspecified.
