How to compute a project area's UUID from its name?

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to compute a project area's UUID from its name. Until now, I haven't found any info about it in the wiki.

My only option seems to GET the project-areas HTTP page, published at <host>/ccm/process/project-areas, then parse its contents.
But I'm really looking forward a more handy, RESTful solution.

Any idea about this?

Regards,

-Nicolas

Item UUIDs are an implementation detail that is intentionally not exposed in the REST API. There's no guarantee that there are "items" behind the resources that come back from the REST API. We could decide to change our implementation technology at any time (for example, to the storage service).

You should use a project area's URL to uniquely identify it.
