Do you store the Site Number from CDIF, and can it be extracted through the API?

Created by Kishor Suresh Patil, Modified on Wed, 22 Jul at 6:28 PM by Kishor Suresh Patil

  • The Site Number in the CDIF file is not stored in the Resilinc database. 
  • It is used only as a reference identifier within the CDIF file to establish relationships between different tabs during data import. 
  • Since the Site Number is not stored, it is not available through the REST API. 
  • The site_id returned by the Site-related API endpoints is a Resilinc-generated unique identifier that is used as the primary key and as a foreign key across other Site-related API endpoints. 
  • If you require a customer-defined unique identifier to be available through the API, we recommend populating the Site_External_ID field in the CDIF file. This value is stored in the system and can be used as a unique site-level identifier in the Site API endpoints.
