How do you find the PHID of a Phabricator object?

I need to get the PHIDs for one project and several users in our Phabricator install. It seems like it should be trivial to find out how to do this, but I've searched the docs to no avail. Am I looking in the wrong place or something?

Solution

  • Easiest way:

    1. Go to the project

    2. Click New Task

    3. Look at the URL, it will have a parameter like:

       ?projects=PHID-PROJ-owipizovyry4fatifwfd
    • PHID is "PHID-PROJ-owipizovyry4fatifwfd"

    Option 2:

    1. Go to your Conduit at https://phabricator.example/conduit

    2. Find the method project.query

    3. Enter the name in a JSON encoded array (i.e. ["project name"])

    4. Click Call Method

    5. PHID will be one of the data elements:

       {
   "data"    : {
     "PHID-PROJ-oybqquyhhke4awiw2akz" : {
       "id"           : "19",
       "phid"         : "PHID-PROJ-oybqquyhhke4awiw2akz",
       "name"         : "project name",
       "members"      : [
         "PHID-USER-gapak5h34h6d5yvl67dx",
         "PHID-USER-674vq754zfuhyxgvvq7x",
         "PHID-USER-qvcdsyc4oz7rzpzziiyk",
         "PHID-USER-qmefzjtsrmnxjxpc45km",
         "PHID-USER-pbhygge7rgpdowz3s5vk"
       ],
       "slugs"        : [
         "project_name"
       ],
       "dateCreated"  : "1396666703",
       "dateModified" : "1396668261"
     }
   }
 }
