Hello, Is there Web API to view/list subportfolios in SonarQube?

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Have you tried this via the UI? The best way to master the API is to perform the desired action via the UI and eavesdrop to see which calls the UI made to accomplish the action.

You may also find [this guide](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/how-to-reverse-engineer-the-sonar-web-api/66810) helpful.

Thanks Ann.  
Yes, I’ve done via UI successfully, but wanted to get it done through API.  
I’ll follow the guide you provided to achieve the reverse engineering. Thanks so much!

Is there an API to perform recompute on portfolios?

Hi,

There’s a button in the UI to do this on a Portfolio-by-Portfolio basis: [Portfolio homepage] → Portfolio Settings → Edit Definition → Recompute.
