Rally API Project ID Identification

[Brett Austin]

Hello!

I want to create an API interface to pull Epics, Sub-Epics, Features, and User Stories from a specific Workspace and Project.
Notes:
1. I have access to multiple workspaces for my org
2. I have access to our organizations entire backlog space (100+)

Question:
1. How do you identify the 'Project' ID/Name e.g. ?  'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/portfolioitem/feature?project=https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/project/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&query=&fetch=true&start=1&pagesize=1000

thank you!

Hi Brett,

You can gather that information from the ObjectID attribute returned from a project query
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/project?query=(Name = "Sample Project")&fetch=ObjectID

Results in a response as follows:

{
  "QueryResult": {
    "Errors": [], 
    "PageSize": 20, 
    "Results": [
      {
        "ObjectID": 198278166556, 
        "_objectVersion": "2", 
        "_rallyAPIMajor": "2", 
        "_rallyAPIMinor": "0", 
        "_ref": "https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/project/198278166556", 
        "_refObjectName": "Sample Project", 
        "_refObjectUUID": "75b17c81-d104-4b56-8ca8-1f9c61387d80", 
        "_type": "Project"
      }
    ], 
    "StartIndex": 1, 
    "TotalResultCount": 1, 
    "Warnings": [], 
    "_rallyAPIMajor": "2", 
    "_rallyAPIMinor": "0"
  }
}

Hi Brett,

Firstly, I am going to have to ask what you are doing with the information once you have got it. The reason for asking this is that your assumption is that ALL the artefacts reside in the same project. "Usually", I get asked for the tree of information under a particular portfolio item regardless of where they are in the project hierarchy. This latter scenario is more common when you have different teams working on stuff together.

I have done a number of apps that get an item and then all the descendants. An example of such is here: https://github.com/nikantonelli/PortfolioItemTimeLine/tree/With-Stories
