# Query Project Traces

> Query recent Grafana Cloud Tempo traces for a project. Results are project-scoped server-side and returned as compact trace summaries.



## OpenAPI

````yaml https://api.veryfront.com/openapi.json get /projects/{project_reference}/traces
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Veryfront REST API
  version: 1.0.0
  summary: Domain-first REST reference for the maintained Veryfront HTTP API surface.
  description: >-
    Project-first HTTP API for Veryfront project resources. Root
    account/platform endpoints that still appear in this reference are
    transitional compatibility surfaces unless the canonical inventory marks
    them otherwise.


    ## Start here


    - **Interactive REST reference:** [/docs](/docs)

    - **Raw OpenAPI document:** [/openapi.json](/openapi.json)

    - **Canonical inventory:** `docs/api-surface-inventory.md` in this
    repository

    - **GraphQL endpoint:** [/graphql](/graphql)

    - **MCP playground:** [/mcp/playground](/mcp/playground)


    ## Authentication


    Use one of these request headers:


    - `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>`

    - `Authorization: Bearer vf_<prefix>_<secret>`

    - `X-API-Key: vf_<prefix>_<secret>`


    JWTs must use the Bearer token contract. API keys work in either the Bearer
    header or `X-API-Key`.


    ## Discovery model


    Veryfront is one platform with multiple access modes:


    - **REST** for resource-oriented and operational HTTP workflows

    - **GraphQL** for connected app-facing data and typed mutations

    - **MCP** for tool-style automation and agent workflows


    For the fastest path through the platform, start with the project-scoped
    domain groups. Transitional account/platform groups are retained for
    compatibility and follow the removal register in the canonical inventory.
