  • 1.  Anyone have a list of URL Functions/Actions?

    Posted 06-06-2022 16:57
    Was really hoping to find a list of all URL actions.  Stuff like "?a=er&rid=" or "?a=er&dfid=XX&rid=".

    Anyone found a list?

    I don't know of any published list unless perhaps @Sharon Faust a.k.a. The Quickbase Junkie has one in her training materials. https://www.quickbasejunkie.com/

    ​There are the whole set of actual APIs https://help.quickbase.com/api-guide/functional_categories.html and for all the rest its like "Monkey see Monkey do".  we just mimic what we see in the URL when we do things though the native URL.

    @John Ross @Mark Shnier (Your Quickbase Coach)

    I have a free Action Button Toolbox, it doesn't cover much in terms of APIs, but may still address your question.

    I also have a course called Secrets of API Buttons (not free) which includes a number of reference materials including a URL Formula Component Toolbox of 25 url components specifically for Add, Edit, Copy, and Delete record APIs.

    However, as Mark mentioned the most comprehensive 'list' would be the API guide from Quickbase.

    Here's an old reddit post that was made by Kirk Trachy that has a lot of useful info:

    Wow! I know Kirk used to keep a single word document with a lot of this stuff for his own purposes, so he must have uploaded it to Reddit.

    Thx for posting.

    I just stumbled across a pdf version of the API reference that seems reasonably up to date... they have a "URL Alternative" for most of the API calls.

    https://help.quickbase.com/api-guide/quickbase_api_guide.pdf

    Handy in that it's all in one place and searchable through 387 pages.
