How can I get a list of fields in an item when knowing the appid but not having any item ids? If I create and add a new item and then get the item the field count is zero... So I basically need to know what are the fields to populate in a new item without knowing any existing items.

  Hi John,

  You can use the Get App API call to get the App and then look at the config.fields property to get the fields.

  Hope it helps :)

  Best,
  Andreas

  Thanks Andreas that helps tremendously.

  So the ApplicationFields are "templates" for ItemFields ?

  Yes, that's correct: config.fields on the app is the template for item fields.
