# Pipelines API **(FREE)**

## Pipelines pagination

By default, `GET` requests return 20 results at a time because the API results
are paginated.

Read more on [pagination](index.md#pagination).

## List project pipelines

List pipelines in a project. Child pipelines are not included in the results,
but you can [get child pipeline](pipelines.md#get-a-single-pipeline) individually.
