Get all schedule baselines for a project (compact)

Returns a compact representation of all schedule baselines for a project

get https://api.constructiononline.com/api/baselines/projectID={ID}

This endpoint allows users to obtain all baselines for a project schedule in their ConstructionOnline company account. Users should enter the ID of the project in the URL of the request. If a project in the user's company account matches the provided ID, information about the project schedule's baselines will be returned—specifically, each baseline's ID, name, creation date, and all schedule tasks/groups captured within each baseline. 

Please note that this endpoint returns a compact representation of the tasks/groups within each schedule baseline; all details for returned schedule task/groups will not be included in the response. Only the following properties will return with each schedule task/group: NAME, ACTIVITY_ID, START_TIME, END_TIME, TYPE, TYPE_NAME. To return a detailed breakdown of each task and group within each baseline, please use this endpoint.
