Item attributes meanings? #1
Description
Activity
I'm super late to this but it looks like the following based on some quick testing:
-tg refers to the tag, for me "Work" is an item in that tg array called ""CC-Things-Tag-Work"
-tt refers to the Title of the To Do
-ss refers to the To Do status, 0 for To Do and 3 for Done I think?
-nt refers to the Note, as in "<note xml:space="preserve">I'm a note!\n"
-dd refers to the deadline on the NoteStill working on figuring out the rest. I'm examining the app with Charles with the intent of build a simple web-based read-only view of my open Todos. This doesn't seem possible without parsing the entire history of changes which seems ridiculous. Am I missing something?
Reacted by Jonathan Laniado and Chandler RothI think I figured out some others.
cdis the item's created date
aris a list of areas
pris a list of projects
mdis the item's modified dateI also think that
stis something like destination, where:- 1 = today/evening (set
sbto 1 for evening) - 2 = someday
- 1 = today/evening (set
I did a Charles capture with a new installation of the app with syncing enabled and discovered that the app gets the current history index ("https://cloud.culturedcode.com/version/1/history/" + account_id) and then in batches of 2500 gets all the history from the beginning of time ("https://cloud.culturedcode.com/version/1/history/" + account_id + "/items?start-index=" + index_in_increments_of_2500).
I then wrote some python to construct the list of todos from the history list (over 12000 items) by taking the list of events and applying it to an array of todos to finally arrive at the current state of things. However, this still seems insufficient for doing what I wanted. It never is quite accurate. Have you had any luck, perhaps with a different approach?
@meub I’m in about the same place you are, trying to get a list of current todos by rebuilding the history.
Have you had any luck with other methods since then? I would love to look at your Python code if it’s available.
I appreciate the work here — definitely wanting to contribute to figuring the Things API out. Has there been any more active research?
Late to the party but, I started documenting these props here: https://github.com/vrinek/things2org/blob/main/properties.org

Hi, thank you for this project! I'm porting this over to Python, but I am trying to figure out what a to-do item's attributes are.
I have the basics down, but I don't know the majority of them. For instance, would you happen to know what
icsdorixortgrefer to?
