Hi ,

I'm creating a script to merge duplicate items in an app. But when I merge 2 items and create a new combined item, the item id changes , and all other workspaces relating to that item loose their connection.

So my question: Is there a way I can get all the related item ids from an item? I'm authorising server side , and I have admin rights on all the workspaces connecting to this item.

  Hi Rudolph,

  You can use the endpoint Get references to item by field to get references to the item.

  The request will be something like GET https://api.podio.com/item/150622336/reference/field/43738642 for item id 150622336 and field id 43738642. The response will look like this:

  [
    {
      "app_item_id": 1640,
      "item_id": 187458953,
      "title": "Some title",
      "link": "https:\/\/podio.com\/myorg\/myspace\/apps\/myapp\/items\/1640",
      "revision": 8
    },
    {
      "app_item_id": 1550,
      "item_id": 182785131,
      "title": "Another title",
      "link": "https:\/\/podio.com\/myorg\/myspace\/apps\/myapp\/items\/1550",
      "revision": 1
    }
  ]
  

  Hope it helps!

  Best,
  Andreas

  Thx I think this is exactly what i'm looking for , I've been using the PHP PODIO API Library. Just to check if I'm on the right track I should send a normal get request to the URL and it will return a json string that I will have to decode? This request doesn't exist inside the Library, right?

  If you're using the PHP client it might be even easier to do this:

  $references = PodioItem::get_references(123);
  

  It will call a slight different endpoint, Get item references, and return the result in the following format:

  [
    {
      "field": {
        "field_id": 43738642,
        "type": "app",
        JSON REMOVED FOR BREVITY
      },
      "app": {
        "app_id": 5618736,
        JSON REMOVED FOR BREVITY
      },
      "items": [
        {
          "app_item_id": 1640,
          "item_id": 187458953,
          "title": "Some title",
          "link": "https:\/\/podio.com\/myorg\/myspace\/apps\/myapp\/items\/1640",
          "revision": 8
        },
        {
          "app_item_id": 1550,
          "item_id": 182785131,
          "title": "Another title",
          "link": "https:\/\/podio.com\/myorg\/myspace\/apps\/myapp\/items\/1550",
          "revision": 1
        }
      ]
    }
  ]

  What! , Andreas you're a Legend. I think what I'm working on will be a nice feature to the core , our company is struggling a lot with duplicate items created , and this script will hopefully fix it , luckily the only part of this script that had me worried you just fixed :)
