Ids¶
Indico gives one object several numbers. The tools say which one they take; this page says where to find it.
| Id | Identifies | Where you find it | Taken by |
|---|---|---|---|
| event id | an event | the event address /event/<id>/; id in search and category results |
every event tool, as event_id |
| category id | a category | the address /category/<id>/; category_id in event results |
indico_list_category_events, indico_create_event |
| contribution id (database) | a talk | contribution_id in the timetable; id in indico_list_contributions; db_id in indico_get_event; the address /contributions/<id>/ |
contribution tools, indico_add_link, indico_upload_file |
| public contribution number | a talk, as shown on conference pages | public_id in the timetable and contribution list; id in indico_get_event |
no tool; for display only |
| session id | a session, such as "Higgs Physics" | session_id in the timetable |
session tools, indico_assign_contribution_session |
| session block id | one time slot of a session | session_block_id in the timetable; returned by indico_create_session_block |
indico_schedule_contribution |
| timetable entry id | a slot in the timetable: a talk, a block or a break | entry_id in the timetable |
indico_move_timetable_entry, indico_unschedule_timetable_entry, indico_update_session_block |
| registration form id | a registration form | indico_list_registration_forms |
registration tools, as form_id |
| registration id | one registrant | indico_list_registrations |
indico_get_registration, indico_set_checkin, indico_moderate_registration |
The trap¶
indico_get_event uses Indico's export API, which calls the public number id and the database id db_id. Everywhere else, id or contribution_id is the database id. Management tools always take the database id.
Example¶
The talk "Measurements of the Higgs boson mass with the ATLAS detector" at ICHEP 2024 on indico.cern.ch:
| Id | Value |
|---|---|
| event id | 1291157 |
| contribution id | 5888282 |
| public number | 495 |
| session id ("Higgs Physics") | 542907 |
| session block id | 560058 |
| timetable entry id | 6525026 |
| parent entry id (the block's entry) | 6477312 |
