Hello,

Looks like TenderApp uses discussion number to navigate discussion in UI. but in the API discussion ID is used everywhere. So, my question is how can i get discussion ID when all i have is a discussion URL?

thanks!

   Hi Anton,

   You can't. What are you trying to do/accomplish? Maybe I can help.

   Cheers!

   I want to be able to load discussion info based on the url/number that user provides. In Tender app UI it is only possible to see discussion number or url, so I can't even ask for ID.

   If you have the discussion url you have all the pieces you need.

   curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.tender-v1+json" "https://USER:[email blocked]/YOURSITE/category_permalink/discussion_number"

   If you send a category permalink, it looks up by the discussion number; otherwise by the ID. Sorry for the confusion.

   Here's the correct url form.

   > curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.tender-v1+json" "https://USER:[email blocked]/YOURSITE/categories/questions/123"

   Hi Anton,

   You can see the documentation here: https://help.tenderapp.com/kb/api/discussions#single-discussion

   You can use user/password or a token for authentication.

   Let me know if you have any question.

   Cheers!
