Solution

  • Have you looked into Podio API?

    Applications: Get app

    GET /app/{app_id}

    Gets the definition of an app and can include configuration and fields. This method will always return the latest revision of the app definition.

    The result (micro result):

    {
  "app_id": The id of the app,
  "name": The name of the app,
  "item_name": The name of each item in an app,
  "icon": The name of the icon used to represent the app
}

    All you need is to make a simple REST request with HttpClient or start using Podio-dotnet NUGET package.

    using PodioAPI;

var podio = new Podio(clientId, clientSecret);
podio.AuthenticateWithApp(appId, appSecret);

var application = await podio.ApplicationService.GetApp(appId, "micro");

    ItemName can be accessed via application.ItemName.

    For more information, this is the signature of the method GetApp.

    /// <summary>
///     Gets the definition of an app and can include configuration and fields.
///     <para>Podio API Reference: https://developers.podio.com/doc/applications/get-app-22349 </para>
/// </summary>
/// <param name="appId"></param>
/// <param name="view">
///     The type of the view of the app requested. Can be either "full", "short", "mini" or "micro". Default
///     value: full
/// </param>
/// <param name="fields">
///     This parameter can be used to include more or less content in responses than the defaults provided by Podio.
///     E.g. space.view(full)
/// </param>
/// <returns></returns>
public async Task<Application> GetApp(int appId, string view = "full", string fields = null)
