Use ID parameters

For some API operations, you must specify the unique IDs of IXM One items such as categories, playlists, or spots in your request.

These unique IDs ensure that the correct object is addressed, as the names of spots and other elements in IXM One can change.

Get content IDs

Depending on how you added content such as spots to IXM One, you can find the content IDs that you need for your API requests in two different ways: directly in IXM One or via the IXM One API.

Find IDs in IXM One

If you’ve manually uploaded the content to IXM One, you can find the ID there. For example, you can find the spot ID in the spot details.

Find IDs via API

If you've uploaded content to IXM One via the API, you can also query the ID via the API.

How to get IDs

To find the IDs for your API request, perform the following steps:

1. In IXM One, open the editing window of the category, playlist, spot group, or user whose ID you need.

2. To open the developer tools in your browser, press F12. Alternatively, open them from the browser menu.

3. In the developer tools window, select the Network tab.

4. Read the ID from the list and write it down.
