Get Object by Name vs ID

[SStrachan]

Is there a way to get Custom Object details by name vs ID?

Hi @SStrachan,

If you mean getting the custom object schema details, then yes.
The GET request at this enpoint : /crm/v3/schemas/{objectType} where objectType can be the ID of the object or the fully qualified name will give you the custom object schema details by name rather than ID.
More information here

If you're talking about a custom object record, then it's also a yes.
You would have to use the search API.

Either by using a filter and using the name of the record as a filter, or using the query filter (see below) except that you would have to define the name as a searchable property in your custom object schema.

Hope this helps ! If it does, please consider marking this as a solution 🙂

Best,

Ludwig
