Hej ! I am trying to retrieve a specific item in a data flow using the ION API.I can successfully retrieve this specific item through ION Gateway, and it works as expected there. However, when I make the same request using the ION API, I receive the following error: * Response code: 404 * Response message: Not Found * Response body: (empty / not returned) What’s confusing is that when I request all items : LN/lnapi/odata/tcapi.ibdItem/Items using the same API, the response is returned without any issues. The problem only occurs when I add a query to retrieve a specific item. I’m not sure why the API returns a 404 in this case. Could you please advise what might be missing or incorrectly configured in my request? Regards Mulugeta

Unable to retrieve Item by key in data flow from ION API

Hej !

I am trying to retrieve a specific item in a data flow using the ION API.I can successfully retrieve this specific item through ION Gateway, and it works as expected there. However, when I make the same request using the ION API, I receive the following error:

Response code: 404
Response message: Not Found
Response body: (empty / not returned)

What’s confusing is that when I request all items : LN/lnapi/odata/tcapi.ibdItem/Items using the same API, the response is returned without any issues. The problem only occurs when I add a query to retrieve a specific item.

I’m not sure why the API returns a 404 in this case. Could you please advise what might be missing or incorrectly configured in my request?

The item must be picked from the request input BOD. The item value requires 9 leading spaces before the actual value.

However, ION is stripping/removing those leading spaces when processing the request. Even though I have added the 9 leading spaces in the request input BOD, they are still being removed.

Manually adding the item in the value field with 9 leading spaces works correctly, but retrieving it from the request input BOD does not preserve the spaces. I am not sure why space is strip of
