CLIO return just on matter number by display number


Clio seems to have no solution but to ask it here. So here I go.

I have the display number and I want to query the Matter ID. This does not seem to be possible unless I do I x-bulk query the loop throw the results.

Does anyone have a simple query to do this?

here is what I have for PHP so far.

function matter_one ( $token,$refresh_toke ) {
    $header = 'Authorization: bearer '.$token."\r\n";
    //echo $header."\r\n";
    $offset = 0;
    $url = 'https://app.clio.com/api/v4/matters.json?&fields=id,description,display_number';
    //echo $url."\r\n";
    $ch = curl_init();
    //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true); //used for trouble shooting.
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array($header));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'GET');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    $resp = curl_exec($ch);
    print "curl response is:" . $resp;
    die();

Solution

  • There is a better way, use https://app.clio.com/api/v4/matters?fields=id,display_number&query=100140

    you will need to loop and check the display number does actualy match as 100140 and 100140B and 10014000 would be returned also.
