convert the interface numeric wrikeID to the API wrike ID
how to convert the numeric wrike id of a task to a wrike id for the api?
i do not want to crawl of search and program a whole framework just to get the wrike id
as i see it now i need to do a search and then fetch the id.. is there not a converting formula for the numeric id?
i found the solution with the permalink field.
snippit to resolve the task id by the old permalink id in powershell
---
$v2wrikeid = xxxxxxx
$wriketaskData = Invoke-RestMethod -uri https://www.wrike.com/api/v4/tasks?permalink=https://www.wrike.com/open.htm?id=$v2wrikeid -Headers @{'Authorization' = ' bearer '+$accessToken} -Method get
$wrikeID=$wriketaskData.data.GetValue(0).id
echo $wrikeID

here i share some quick and dirty code to add an time entry to a task for a whole year every workday in powershell
----
#create wrike time entries for every workday for a whole year
# uncomment the $output line to actually do it, first test the print out
$accessToken = "yourv4token"
# the permalinkid
$v2wrikeid = XXXXXX
$beginmonth=1
$beginyear=2019
$wriketaskData = Invoke-RestMethod -uri https://www.wrike.com/api/v4/tasks?permalink=https://www.wrike.com/open.htm?id=$v2wrikeid -Headers @{'Authorization' = ' bearer '+$accessToken} -Method get
$wrikeID=$wriketaskData.data.GetValue(0).id
#Print week
$we = [System.DayOfWeek]::Saturday, [System.DayOfWeek]::Sunday
$date = Get-Date -Year $beginyear -Month $beginmonth -Day 1
for ($i=$beginmonth; $i -le 12; $i++)
{
$date = Get-Date -Year $beginyear -Month $i -Day 1
$lastDay = [DateTime]::DaysInMonth($date.Year, $date.Month)
$firstDate = [DateTime]::new($date.Year, $date.Month, 1)
$lastDate = [DateTime]::new($date.Year, $date.Month, $lastDay)
$workdays = 0
#$now=$firstDate.AddDays(-1)
$now=$firstDate
while ($now -le $lastDate){
$now = $now.AddDays(1)
if ($now.DayOfWeek -notin $we ) {
$payload = 'hours=0.5&trackedDate=' + ($now).Tostring("yyyy-MM-dd") + '&comment=' + ($now).Tostring("yyyy-MM-dd") + ': time entry subject |'
#uncomment to actually output, test it manually first before you loop.
##$output = Invoke-RestMethod -uri https://www.wrike.com/api/v4/tasks/$wrikeID/timelogs -Headers @{'Authorization' = ' bearer '+$accessToken} -Method Post -body $payload
