# Get all collections

`GET https://api.gleap.io/v3/helpcenter/collections`

Get help center collections. Returns only top-level collections by default; pass `parentId=<collectionId>` to list the direct children of a collection, or `parentId=all` to list every collection. Results are sorted by `lexorank` and each entry includes `articlesCount` and `subCollectionsCount`. Note: this endpoint returns the dashboard view of a collection; `project` and `externalId` are omitted. Use GET /helpcenter/collections/all for full documents. Pass `site=<siteId>` (or `site=default`) to list one help center site's collections.
