GUID to API ID mapping?

It's unclear how to go from a Geni GUID (e.g. for my profile it's "4526932894380070385") to an API ID (for my profile it's "profile-11308584"). The API doesn't have a search functionality either, as far as I can tell.

You can pass GUIDs to the api by prefixing them with a 'g'.

For example /api/profile-g4526932894380070385 would return your profile.

We added documentation for this 'feature' http://dev.geni.com/

Awesome, thanks guys.

Awesome, thanks!

Do you have an option to go the other way?

I am working on a desktop app and want to fire up my browser for a specific profile using the id profile-1294997 to open Bjørn P. Brox

I know I can load the profile first to get the guid.

Not at this time. Sorry.
