I have set an "identifier" for an existing thing. Can I access the thing name and its properties using the identifier instead of the thing name. If YES, how do we do this?

Hi @SS_10815109  you want to access things in the composer or API call or at any services, can you explain your use case in detail?

    Hi @Surya_Tiwari , i am asking about the API call. 

    For example: /Thingworx/ThingName/Properties can give us the list of properties in JSON.

    Can I make a similar API call through the "identifier" without using the thing name?

    Hello @SS_10815109 

     

    For making any API call we have a predefined URL for thingworx that has to be followed for eg 

    <http/https:><host:port>/Thingworx/<entity collection>/<entity>/<characteristic collection>/<characteristic>?<query parameters>

    You can also refer following guides for more information

    Thingworx Rest API 

    ThingWorx REST Design 

     

    So Identifier won't be helpful here.  It is a way to associate your virtual thing with remote thing 

    Ref guide : Identifiers 

    Hope it answers your query please feel free to revert in case you have any further concerns

    Thanks

    Om dukiya
