i am trying to setup a program that will basically clone my [frame.io](http://frame.io) locally, but im having trouble getting the api to work. when i try and use [https://api.frame.io/v2/projects](https://api.frame.io/v2/projects) i get an error 404, but when i test with /me instead of projects it is able to give my my account information. when i hover over my account online it says that it is a legacy account. do i need to use a different address because of this or am i just going about this wrong. when making the api key i gave it every permission to eliminate any possibility of a problem there and i know that this program has been made and functional by another member of my team, but it has since been lost and needs to be remade.

When you make the API call to `/v2/projects`, are you actually supplying a `project_id` as a path parameter in the API request?

If not, that would explain why you’re getting the 404 response. The API request should look like `/v2/projects/:project_id` (`/v2/projects/27b03903-7ac2-4645-8c70-896e18b176b7`).

That does not look like a valid API call.

If you want to list projects by team, do

```auto
https://api.frame.io/v2/teams/{team_id}/projects

```

If you want to get a specific project, do

```auto
https://api.frame.io/v2/projects/{project_id}

```

If you want to get all projects for a user, you need to chain

```auto
https://api.frame.io/v2/teams

```

Then, for each of the team IDs you get back do

```auto
https://api.frame.io/v2/teams/{team_id}/projects

```
