How to use SQ web API to bring only the list with the active quality profiles of a project

[andreeamuscalu]

Hi!
I want to use the SQ web API to make a report with all the rules in the active quality profiles of a project.
My problem is that when I use GET api/qualityprofiles/search with the project parameter, the response contains all the QP configured for that project, not only the ones that are active.
Is there a way to find out from some api response wich qp are active for a project. It should be something because in the GUI you can find this at “Project Information”.

Hey there.

It should be something because in the GUI you can find this at “Project Information”.

You’re right – if it’s visible in the UI, you should be able to track down a Web API for it. For that, I would recommend this guide:

How to reverse engineer the Sonar Web API

Every action that is taken in the SonarQube / SonarCloud UI is driven by the Web API. There is nothing you can do in SonarQube / SonarCloud that you cannot do using the Web API. We put a great deal of effort into the UI and UX of our products and sincerely think that most actions should be completed there. Especially when it comes to viewing analysis results, the UI is the best place to view up-to-date information with the right context. We think it is much better that you give access…
