NOTE: Note:
The projects and shared_projects attributes in the response are deprecated and will be removed in API v5.
To get the details of all projects within a group, use either the list a group's projects or the list a group's shared projects endpoint.
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/4"
This endpoint returns:
- All projects and shared projects in GitLab 12.5 and earlier.
- A maximum of 100 projects and shared projects in GitLab 12.6 and later. To get the details of all projects within a group, use the list a group's projects endpoint instead.

NOTE: Note:
The projects and shared_projects attributes in the response are deprecated and will be removed in API v5.
To get the details of all projects within a group, use either the list a group's projects or the list a group's shared projects endpoint.
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/5?name=Experimental"
This endpoint returns:
- All projects and shared projects in GitLab 12.5 and earlier.
- A maximum of 100 projects and shared projects in GitLab 12.6 and later. To get the details of all projects within a group, use the list a group's projects endpoint instead.
