I had an epiphany - I think the follow idioms will let you get the current history id and current history name. It is more robust than the code file trick because it will also work with direct API calls where there is no "current history" (doesn't require use of trans). https://gist.github.com/jmchilton/27c5bb05e155a611294d -John On Tue, May 5, 2015 at 3:11 PM, Dooley, Damion <Damion.Dooley@bccdc.ca> wrote:
P.s. I tried using BioBlend and(or) the Galaxy API to get a given user's current history but found there was no way to do so.
Seems like there is occasionally a tension between "plaform by design" (reduced instruction set, occasionally with security in mind, or dev resource limitations) and "platform for creativity" (everything exposed in case someone might find use for it).

If I'm already using non-public APIs to get the current history ID, can it be done more directly using something analogous to the above?
