title: How to get list of ID's for all the projects in a group on Gitlab?
body: <p>I am a beginner with GitLab and GitLab api so there is alot of basic knowledge of that i might be missing.
  I have a synology server where i want to make backups of the GitLab projects. Due to network limitations there is no GitLab Installation on Synology therefore i want to back-up the gitlab projects in this way.</p>
  <p>Idea: Using GitLab api i want to extract a list of GitLab project ID's, loop through these id's and export and download the project(s) to a location on Synology.</p>
  <p>The main problem i am having right now is getting all the Project ID's in a list that i can loop through or any similar data structure.</p>
  <p>Does any of you have any idea about how i could accomplish this?</p>
  <p>At the moment i am trying out getting all the projects owned using the following api call:</p>
  <pre><code>curl --header &quot;PRIVATE-TOKEN: MyToken&quot; &quot;https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects?owned=true&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>At the moment i am just getting an empty pair of square brackets as a result. I am not sure why that is yet as i am kind of figuring things out as i go.</p>
  <p>Is it possible to parse the information about the projects owned to extract only the project ID's?</p>
