Find Task by Permalink ID

Hey Doug, thanks for reaching out with this 🙂

You can enable job numbers in Wrike - that way, you'll be able to see task IDs (not permalinks) in the Table View, Task View, and can be used in the Search field. Here's the Help Center article on how to do it. 

Hope it helps and let me know if you have further questions 👐

That did not help. Seems to be wayyyyy more characters on the example folder id from the APIv4 documentation.

{'errorDescription': 'Invalid Folder ID', 'error': 'invalid_request'}

@Garrett Hi, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the long response!

I can see that you've already discussed this with our Support - please let me know if you have any further questions!

Seems like what you're looking for is this: https://www.wrike.com/api/v4/tasks?permalink=https://www.wrike.com/open.htm?id=123456789... This will return the task in question (and the REAL id in the json response)

Hi, I've tried to exactly do this, but only get an empty response with HTTP code 400 back

In case I enter some random string as permalink it correctly gives me an error message, but with a proper permalink I don't receive anything + the 400.

curl -i -H 'Authorization: bearer xxx' 'https://www.wrike.com/api/v4/tasks?permalink=https://www.wrike.com/open.htm\?id\=502053333'
HTTP/2 400
server: nginx
date: Tue, 01 Sep 2020 12:10:09 GMT

Is this no longer possible? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Jens W�bbenhorst, welcome to the Community!

I'm going to raise a ticket with our Advanced Support for you, they should be able to advise.

Hi Jens W�bbenhorst, thanks for reaching out! This is Lisa from Wrike Support. I hope you don't mind if we handle the case in this thread - it might be helpful for other members in the future.

I have noticed that there are some backslashes in your call that are not included in the permalink format. Here is how the permalink looks like when you copy it from the Workspace: https://www.wrike.com/open.htm?id=xxxxxxxxx.

Please make sure the 9-digits match the ones in the existing task, remove the backslashed, and send the call once again.
You can use Postman to check your API syntax - please check out the call I made during my tests:

Let us know how it goes! 😉

Hi Lisa, thanks a lot. That was the issue. Not getting any error response was a bit confusing. There was no indication in which direction to debug.

But it's working now. Thanks again.
