Using Trello API:
- I've been able to get all the cards that are assigned to a Trello user
- I've been able to get all the boards that are assigned to an Organization
But I can't get any API call that returns all the lists that are in an Organization or User.
Is there any function that allows that ?
Thanks in advance
I don't believe there is a method in the Trello API to do this, so you'll have to get a list of boards for a user or organization:
GET /1/members/[idMember or username]/boards
Which returns (truncated to show just the parts we care about):
[{
"id": "4eea4ffc91e31d1746000046",
"name": "Example Board",
"desc": "This board is used in the API examples",
...
"shortUrl": "https://trello.com/b/OXiBYZoj"
}, {
"id": "4ee7e707e582acdec800051a",
"name": "Public Board",
"desc": "A board that everyone can see",
...
"shortUrl": "https://trello.com/b/IwLRbh3F"
}]
Then get the lists for each board:
GET /1/boards/[board_id]/lists
Which returns (truncated to only show the list id and name:
[{
"id": "4eea4ffc91e31d174600004a",
"name": "To Do Soon",
...
}, {
"id": "4eea4ffc91e31d174600004b",
"name": "Doing",
...
}, {
"id": "4eea4ffc91e31d174600004c",
"name": "Done",
...
}]
And go through this response for each board to build a list of all the lists a user or organization has.
For the users who want the easiest way to access the id of a list :
Use the ".json" hack !
add ".json" at the end of your board URL to display the same output of the API query for that board, in your browser ! (no other tool needed, no hassle dealing with authentication).
For instance, if the URL of your board is :
https://trello.com/b/EI6aGV1d/blahblah
point your browser to
https://trello.com/b/EI6aGV1d/blahblah.json
And you will obtain something like
{
"id": "5a69a1935e732f529ef0ad8e",
"name": "blahblah",
"desc": "",
"descData": null,
"closed": false,
[...]
"cards": [
{
"id": "5b2776eba95348dd45f6b745",
"idMemberCreator": "58ef2cd98728a111e6fbd8d3",
"data": {
"list": {
"name": "Bla blah blah blah blah",
"id": "5a69a1b82f62a7af027d0378"
},
"board": {
[...]
Where you can just search for the name of your list to easily find its id next to it.
tip: use a json viewer extension to make your browser display a nice json. Personnally I use https://github.com/tulios/json-viewer/tree/0.18.0 but I guess there are a lot of good alternatives out there.
You can do it by calling
GET /1/organizations/[idOrg]/boards?lists=all
It is here: https://developers.trello.com/advanced-reference/organization#get-1-organizations-idorg-or-name-boards
Look at the arguments.
There are several filters and fields. You can customize it.
