# Method: projects.algorithms.list

Gets the list of all the algorithms available for use in Expressions.

### HTTP request

`GET https://earthengine.googleapis.com/v1/{parent=projects/*}/algorithms`

The URL uses [gRPC Transcoding](https://google.aip.dev/127) syntax.

### Path parameters

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `parent` | `string` Required. The project id or project number of the Google Cloud Platform project that should be treated as the service consumer for this request. Format is `projects/{project-id}`. Authorization requires the following [IAM](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/) permission on the specified resource `parent`: - `earthengine.computations.create` |

### Request body

The request body must be empty.

### Response body

All the algorithms available for use in Expressions.

If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:

| JSON representation |
|---|
| ``` { "algorithms": [ { object (`https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/reference/rest/v1/projects.algorithms/list#Algorithm`) } ] } ``` |

| Fields ||
|---|---|
| `algorithms[]` | ``object (`https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/reference/rest/v1/projects.algorithms/list#Algorithm`)`` A list of the available algorithms. |

### Authorization scopes

Requires one of the following OAuth scopes:

- `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/earthengine`
- `
  https://www.googleapis.com/auth/earthengine.readonly`
- `
  https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform`
- `
  https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform.read-only`

## Algorithm

The description of an algorithm available for Expressions.

| JSON representation |
|---|
| ``` { "name": string, "description": string, "returnType": string, "arguments": [ { object (`https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/reference/rest/v1/projects.algorithms/list#AlgorithmArgument`) } ], "deprecated": boolean, "deprecationReason": string, "hidden": boolean, "preview": boolean, "sourceCodeUri": string } ``` |

| Fields ||
|---|---|
| `name` | `string` The name of the algorithm, in the form "algorithms/...". |
| `description` | `string` A human-readable description of the algorithm. |
| `returnType` | `string` The name of the type the algorithm returns. |
| `arguments[]` | ``object (`https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/reference/rest/v1/projects.algorithms/list#AlgorithmArgument`)`` Descriptions of the arguments the algorithm takes. |
| `deprecated` | `boolean` Whether the algorithm is deprecated. |
| `deprecationReason` | `string` If this algorithm is deprecated, the reason for the deprecation. |
| `hidden` | `boolean` Whether this algorithm should be hidden in client applications and not shown by default. |
| `preview` | `boolean` Whether this algorithm is a preview feature and not yet widely available for a general audience. |
| `sourceCodeUri` | `string` URI of a resource containing the source code of the algorithm. Empty if the user does not have permission or a specific URI could not be determined. |

## AlgorithmArgument

The description of an argument to an algorithm.

| JSON representation |
|---|
| ``` { "argumentName": string, "type": string, "description": string, "optional": boolean, "defaultValue": value } ``` |

| Fields ||
|---|---|
| `argumentName` | `string` The name of the argument. |
| `type` | `string` The name of the type of the argument. |
| `description` | `string` A human-readable description of the argument. |
| `optional` | `boolean` Whether the argument is optional. |
| `defaultValue` | ``value (`https://protobuf.dev/reference/protobuf/google.protobuf#value` format)`` The default value the argument takes if a value is not provided. |
