ASANA API - get only projects associated to me

when you query /projects I get every project in the organization(a-lot) ... is there anyway to just get projects that I am interested in (ie task assigned to me, mention of me, or one that I have flaged as following?)

I have also tried

users/me/projects
projects?followers=me

That's a really interesting idea. We don't currently have a way of doing that - even in the product! - in part because everyone's definition of "interesting to me" is a little different. For instance, there's no global way to look up, for a user, all the comments they're mentioned in - mentioning adds a user as a follower to the task, sure, but they might be removed from the followers list subsequently. Should projects with tasks that I hearted be included? What about projects with tasks that have comments that I hearted? Projects with tasks that I'm following, sure - but what if the last time I followed a task in that project was over a year ago, and the task I followed is long since complete? Since tasks can be in multiple projects, does it make sense to include a project that I may have never even seen, but includes a task that's also in a project I work on, and so I've touched it? It's a tricky question to get right for everyone, to be sure.

In the meantime, you can get tasks that are assigned to you in a workspace (GET /tasks?workspace=[id]&assignee=me) and then crawl all the tasks to find the projects they're in (I know, not terribly elegant).

We currently don't expose projects/tasks you're following or projects you've favorited (starred) via the API. And as far as I know there's no way to query stories/tasks you're mentioned in via the API or the app.
