Ideas and the API

Hey all,

I built a script that pulls the API data into a sheet and then posts a slack message. I am trying to figure out how to build a field or pull a field via that api for the URL of the idea within the community.

Does anyone have an idea how to do this?
I understand that it is generally .com/ideas/title-publicid

Sometimes with spaces and and different miscellaneous symbols within a title of a post, it may not be a conventional way to build a link. 

 

Any ideas or how you may have done something this in the past would be super grateful! Appreciate the help in advance.

Anthony

Hi @ahamburg9, you can get the URLs of ideas directly from the API.

https://api2-eu-west-1.insided.com/docs/community/#tag/Ideas/operation/getIdeaList

The “seoCommunityUrl” field will hold this.

yup! Thanks @rhall I got this figured out this morning! Appreciate the assist here. Odd Question, but while we are talking about this, any idea how to call the productArea.name of the idea?

I’m sorry @ahamburg9, I only just saw this. I am afraid I haven’t done a great deal with the Ideas API as yet, but just recalled seeing this when I was originally playing around. For product area, I just had a look and cannot see it anywhere. Strangely, it appears you can add product areas via the API, but I can’t see how to retrieve them.

However, I am currently a member of the BI connector to CC Data Lake Silver Layer BETA group. If you are able to write SQL, you may find this really useful. It gives you so much more access and I have just checked, you can get product area information there ;-)

Awesome! I appreciate your help here!

I asked to be a part of it, so I am pretty excited!

 

Thanks,

Anthony
