No item ID in List Items API

[Yacine911]

Hello everyone

I used to use the List Items API to retrieve all my items and extract the item ID based on the item name. However, when I tested it today, I no longer receive the item ID — only a limited set of metadata is returned. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

GET https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/<your WS Id>/items

"value": [ { "type": "Notebook",

                "displayName": "xxxxxx",

                "description": "New notebook",

                "workspaceId": "xxxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx",

                "folderId": "xxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx" },

Hi @Yacine911 ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community.

This behavior is due to recent updates to the Fabric Core List Items API, which now returns a limited set of metadata by default  including the omission of the itemId field.

To retrieve the itemId, we recommend using the Admin List Items API (/v1/admin/items), which provides comprehensive metadata, including the item identifier. Please note that this API requires Fabric Administrator permissions or a properly configured service principal.

You can refer to the official documentation here: Admin List Items API

Thanks for your help! However, even with the new Admin API, I’m still not receiving the item ID in the response. Here’s what I get

API : GET https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/admin/items

{
"itemEntities":[
{
"type":"DataPipeline",
"name":"xxxxxxxx",
"state":"Active",
"lastUpdatedDate":"2025-03-25T14:48:18.2733505Z",
"creatorPrincipal":{
"displayName":"xxxxxxxxxxxx",
"type":"User",
"userDetails":{
"userPrincipalName":"xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.com"
}
},
"workspaceId":"xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-x-xxxxxxxxxx-x",
"capacityId":"xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-x-xxxxxxxxxx-x"
}

Hi @Yacine911 ,

The behavior you're seeing is due to recent updates in the Fabric platform both the List Items API and the Admin Items API have been streamlined to return limited metadata by default, and fields like itemId are no longer consistently included in the response. This change affects multiple item types and currently.

If retrieving the itemId is critical to your workflow, we recommend raising a support ticket via the Power BI/Fabric Support Portal, or logging the issue on the Fabric Community Issues board to bring it to the attention of the product team.
