monday.com workspaces are used by teams to manage their accounts by departments, teams, or projects. They contain boards, dashboards, and folders to help you stay organized.

Queries

Required scope: workspaces:read

Returns an array containing metadata about one or a collection of workspaces
Can be queried directly at the root or nested within a boards query to return the workspace ID
If nested, you only need the boards:read scope

Nested

query {
  boards {
    id
    workspace_id
  }
}

let query = 'query { boards { id workspace_id }}';

fetch ("https://api.monday.com/v2", {
  method: 'post',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization' : 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
   },
   body: JSON.stringify({
     'query' : query
   })
  })
   .then(res => res.json())
   .then(res => console.log(JSON.stringify(res, null, 2)));

At the root

query {
  workspaces (ids: 1234567) {
    id
    name
    kind
    description
  }
}

let query = 'query { workspaces (id: 1234567) { id name kind description }}}';

fetch ("https://api.monday.com/v2", {
  method: 'post',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization' : 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
   },
   body: JSON.stringify({
     'query' : query
   })
  })
   .then(res => res.json())
   .then(res => console.log(JSON.stringify(res, null, 2)));

Querying the main workspace

Every account has a main workspace, but you typically can't query its details via the API.

However, users will eventually be able to query main workspace details as we complete a multi-product migration over the next few months. This capability will be released gradually, so you may not have access yet. All users will have this capability by the end of the migration.

Here's the expected behavior for both pre-and post-migration:

Pre-migration

If you query the workspaces on your account, the main workspace will not appear in the results because it has a null or -1 ID. You can, however, filter for boards in the main workspace by passing null as the workspace_id.

query {
  boards (workspace_ids: [null], limit:50) {
    name
  }
}

Post-migration

If you query the workspaces on your account, the main workspace will appear in the results with a real id. You can then use that ID to query the main workspace.

Arguments

You can use the following argument(s) to reduce the number of results returned in your workspaces query.

Argument	Description	Enum values
ids `[ID!]`	The specific workspace(s) to return.
kind `WorkspaceKind`	The kind of workspaces to return: open or closed.
limit `Int`	The number of workspaces to return. The default is 25.
order_by `WorkspacesOrderBy`	The order in which to retrieve your workspaces. For now, you can only order by created_at.
page `Int`	The page number to get. Starts at 1.
state `State`	The state of workspaces you want to search by. The default is active.	`active` `all` `archived`, `deleted`

Fields

You can use the following field(s) to specify what information your workspaces query will return. Please note that some fields will have their own arguments or fields.

Field	Description	Enum values	Supported fields
account_product `AccountProduct`	The account product that contains the workspace.
created_at `Date`	The workspace's creation date.
description `String`	The workspace's description.

name `String!`	The workspace's name.
owners_subscribers `[User]`	The workspace's owners. The default is 25. Requires `users:read` scope.
