title: VSTS work items list through REST API
body: <p>How can I get a list of work items from VSTS using the REST API?</p>
  
  <p>According to the <a href="https://www.visualstudio.com/docs/integrate/api/wit/work-items" rel="nofollow" title="documentation">documentation</a>, the <code>ids</code> parameter is optional, but when I omit it I get a <code>404</code> error.
  If I add the <code>ids</code> parameter, I can get the items.</p>
  
  <p>Failing request:<br>
  <code>GET https://{account}.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/wit/workitems?api-version=1.0</code></p>
  
  <p>Succeeding request:<br>
  <code>GET https://{account}.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/wit/workitems?ids=252&amp;api-version=1.0</code></p>
  
  <p>Authentication is the same for both.</p>
  
  <p>The complete problem to solve is: <strong>get all features in a specific VSTS project</strong></p>
