# GET /api/collection

`GET /api/collection`

Fetch a list of all Collections that the current user has read permissions for (`:can_write` is returned as an
  additional property of each Collection so you can tell which of these you have write permissions for.)

  By default, this returns non-archived Collections, but instead you can show archived ones by passing
  `?archived=true`.

  By default, admin users will see all collections. To hide other user's collections pass in
  `?exclude-other-user-collections=true`.

  If personal-only is `true`, then return only personal collections where `personal_owner_id` is not `nil`.

## Query parameters

- `archived` boolean, nullable, required
- `exclude-other-user-collections` boolean, nullable, required
- `namespace` string, nullable
- `personal-only` boolean, nullable, required

## Response `2XX`

Successful response

## Other responses

- `4XX` — Client error response
- `5XX` — Server error response
