Detect Archived Spaces in API

We're looking into putting together a tool to create an aggregated view of tasks across multiple workspaces. We don't want to include spaces that have been archived. I can't find a response in the get spaces calls from the API that details whether or not a space is archived. Is there a way to determine this? What am I missing?

  Hi Robert,

  If you add the query parameter fields=archived to the get space API call, then the response will include a property archived which indicates this.

  Hope it helps!

  Best,
  Andreas

  Hi Andreas,

  Sorry to bring this up again so many months later, but this was an internal project that got shelved for a bit while we dealt with client work. We're getting back to it now and finding that adding the fields=archived parameter isn't providing an archived field as you suggested.

  We are using podio-php and attempting to hit the /space/org/{org_id}/ endpoint using the following line:

  PodioSpaces::get_for_org($org_id, array('fields' = 'archived');

  But we aren't finding an archived attribute in the response. We also tried hitting the /space/{space_id} for each space, again using podio-php and adding the fields=archived parameter, but those calls also do not appear to return archived. Is the option not supported any more or is it specific to select space endpoints?

  Hi Robert,

  When I make the request, it works for me: I get the `archived` attribute. What HTTP request are you making, exactly? Please ensure you're making a request like this:

  ```
  GET /space/org/42?fields=archived
  ```

  Best,
  Andreas

  Hi Andreas,

  It turns out the podio-php client library doesn't support undocumented fields. The get_for_org method doesn't support adding a query by default. When it is modified to accept the fields=archived param, the raw response does return the archived field, however the PodioSpace class doesn't contain that field as a property, so it gets ignored when PodioObject wraps the response in a class.

  The solution ended up requiring the creation of a subclass of PodioSpace that adds the archived property and extends get_for_org to allow it to accept query strings.

  Thanks for the help.
