How to get a list of items by item_ids

Follow
Christian Augustine

I have tow questions, I am currently working on integrating a click-to-call app on Podio with the capability to pop a record relating to the dialled
phone number using our VOIP APIs.

1) I have a set of item_ids and I am trying to retrieve a full list of items using these set of item_ids. Is this possible and how do i apply
the ids as filters in one call.

2) I noticed that searching <pre> /search/app/{app_id}/</pre> for a text or keyword does not return that fields and values of the returned record
What is the best way to retrieve the full item details for a search phrase.

    Hi Christian,

    I don't think that 1) is possible (ie. get a set of items by item_id), but maybe someone else knows better.

    Regarding 2), did you have a look into https://developers.podio.com/doc/items/filter-items-4496747 ? Depending on your use case that might be a viable alternative since search does not return enough data in your case.

    Best,
    Stefan

    Hi Stefan,

    Yeah I already had a go with the filtering method but it seem item_id is not a valid filtering key. ERROR "error_description": "Invalid value \"item_id\" (string): Invalid filtering key",

    I find it amusing if your API does not simply allow one to fetch a set of item by ids f.ex SELECT * FROM items WHERE item_id IN (..., ..., ...)

    I really need this to work, please point me to the right direction.

    Hi Christian,

    to clarify: I don't work for Podio, so there is nothing I can really do for you except trying to give advice. And I cannot find an API-call to fetch items by their id either, even though the bulk delete method has such an option. Maybe Podio could add this as an option for fetching items as well.

    In the meantime you probably have to fetch each item one-by-one. :/

    Best,
    Stefan

    Christian, I've noted your feature request. It's a good idea, but I can't make any promises as to how/when/etc.

    +1, will be useful for us the developers and less resources intensive for Podio. Doesn't that sound like a win/win :)?

    Hi Andreas, do you already have an idea if the "filter app on item ids" will be available soon? This could save me a lot of individual Podio::Item.find calls. Thanks

    I had to stop working on my integration project due to lack of this feature. Please prioritize it as its deemed essential for developers.

    Just a short follow-up: We have updated the API so you can now filter by item_id (and app_item_id). Just use item_id or app_item_id as the filter key and give it an array of item ids (or app item ids).

    Hi Andreas, I was expecting the results to include the fields in the returned results?
