Another SageX/API Question

[deanm]

Is it possible to use wildcards with the API?

For example I want to extract the following from the Sage.Propierties file.

epg_data_sources/6667813/unavailable_stations

Using the GetServerProperty API command I get the reply I need.

sagex/api?c=GetServerProperty&1=epg_data_sources/6667813/unavailable_stations&2=Error

But my issue is I need to know the ref number (6667813) for the command to work.

If you cant use wildcards how would I find the ref number? My current work around is to copy the Sage.Properties file and extract the number/line but wanted something a bit more elegant using SageX

There are other APIs you can use to get properties that start with a specific item, in your case "epg_data_sources". I don't recall exactly but they are something like GetPropertiesThatAreBanches and GetPropertiesThatAreLeaves. You should look into using those.

Thank you for the pointers, yes this resolved my issue.
