Typically, record IDs are of interest to programmers, who get them in the return values of API calls. But it can also be desirable to get a known value for testing.
To get a record ID:
- Visit https://{yourDomain}/networking/rest/record/{objectName}?fieldList=id&pageSize=1
The first record is returned. - Alternatively, add a Filter Expression to the URL to retrieve a specific record.
- In the XML response, use the content of the <id> tag.
- -or-
- 1. Go to a List View tab.
- 2. Use your browser's page-inspection tools to examine one of the folder icons
in the view:
- In Chrome, or in Firefox with the FireBug plugin:
- Right click the folder icon and choose Inspect Element.
- Display the page source and search for the folder image: graphics/view.png
- In Chrome, or in Firefox with the FireBug plugin:
- 3. You are now positioned at an image tag that displays the folder icon, surrounded by an anchor tag (<a>). That part of the HTML code looks like this:
<a href="javascript:lj_showDetailPane('...',
'Service?t=498&id={recordID}&object_id=...&a=view&policyaction=view');">
<img border="0" title="Details " alt="Details" src="graphics/view.png">
</a>
- 4. In the href attribute, in the JavaScript call, there is an id parameter (highlighted above). The part after the equals sign is the record ID.
