(Once more with the list cc'ed - sorry for the duplicate message.) The IDs are encoded before they are shared out via the API so that raw integers aren't exposed. The ID the API returns is generally the value in the id column for that table. Eric Rasche kindly contributed a script to the development version of Galaxy that converts IDs python scripts/secret_decoder_ring.py decode <id_from_bioblend> You can probably add the script to older versions of Galaxy and it will work: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/scripts/secret_decoder_ring.... I hope this helps and thanks for hacking on Galaxy! -John On Wed, May 3, 2017 at 11:05 PM, Aarthi Mohan <ephaart@nus.edu.sg> wrote:

Hello all,

I have a local instance of galaxy version 15.03.1 (this is needed by IRIDA tool).

I have retrieved datasets associated with a history using Bioblend.

I want to confirm, if the history id used in get_histories(hid) or show_history(hid) is stored in the database? I have tried searching the entire database by mysqldump, and couldn’t find such values in it.

Where else is this id stored and will this be deleted periodically?

Appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Aarthi
