Solved: Where is the Square guide on the item export csv?

InTheBox · ‎10-18-2016

I developed a custom application for our business using the Square Connect API. I use the Square guid as a key value to work with system data. I used to be able to acquire this value from an export of my items list, but is appears that value is no longer listed. On the old "itemsbulk" export, the field name was "Item ID". The new "catalog" export lists a "Token" field, which is not the same as the Item ID.

Is it possible to retrieve the guid from the export? Do I need to change from using the guid to the token value?

Thanks!

Hi @InTheBox!

You should be using the List Items endpoint of the API to get your info. There you will be able to find all of the same information, including the "item ID" that you were looking for. Read more here: https://docs.connect.squareup.com/api/connect/v1/#get-items.

I am not tech savvy enough to get to my items id's per your direction. I have built a database using item id as a field. Unless there is an easy way to access the item id I will update the field to be the new token field. But, I wont' to make sure the values are unique and that the are static. Thank you.
