How to filter project history on specific branch

I'm looking at the project history page in my online environment, e.g. an url like this:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/my-organization/project-xyz/history

But I want to see only builds from a specific branch (in this particular instance the master branch). How can I do that?

   This functionality is currently under development. There are several requests for this and related features.

   In the meantime here is a script you could use as a starting pint. It just hits the REST api and filters the return builds by branch.

   Okay, thanks for the update and the workaround.

   Couldn't find any open support requests for this, is why I asked. I'll leave this one open for others to find then, unless you'd have an open ticket to track these features that's better suited?

   Sure, lets keep it open for now. Proper branch filtering is coming :)

   Question though, I'm trying to adapt the ps1 script to a Postman call:

   1. GET URI is https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/myorganization/project-slug/history?recordsNumber=100 (the same URI that is hit when I check the Network tab when looking at the project history in Chrome)
      
   2. Header Content-type: application/json
      
   3. Header Authorization: Bearer blahblahblah, where the token was taken from https://ci.appveyor.com/api-keys

   But I get:

   { "message": "Account cannot be accessed with current authentication method." }
   

   Just to check, if I 'mangle' the token it says:

   { "message": "User must be logged in to access account resources." }
   

   My organization administrator says they can't do anything to my account, except making me an admin (which seems overkill, if it would even help).

   What does one need to do to allow a user to retrieve the history in the suggested manner?

   Your instincts are correct, making you an admin will not help :) Account has 2FA enabled and API authentication methods are disabled. Admin has to enable API v1 or API v2 depending on the kind of API token you use.

   Thank you very much, asked my colleague some more about this and they said:

   I found a checkbox on the org account level

   Neither v1 or v2 checkbox was checked. Now that they are, it works for me. Thanks for your support!
